Who wrote the Bible

As I note in the comments of this post by my friend Thomas D, who writes the blog Satan Wrote the Bible:

This reminds me of the story that Shakespeare was involved in the translation of the King James Bible. One of the more obvious clues that he was at least one of the translators is Psalm 46. The King James Bible was being prepared for printing in 1610, when Shakespeare was 46 years old. The 46th word in the psalm is “shake.” Not counting Selah (the equivalent of Amen), the 46th word from the end is “spear.”
