Shakespeare's Authorship

Shakespeare famously wrote in his play “Hamlet” “to be, or not to be, that is the question…” (Shakespeare). But throughout the years that’s not the only question that has revolved around Shakespeare for since the publication of his plays doubts have arose about the authenticity of his works.

Although numerous humans wrote it down over the period of centuries, Christians can rest assured that, one being, the Holy Spirit, inspired it and caused these men of God to write those precious words down. Unlike with Shakespeare, no controversy remains exist over the bible so people need not create theories to try and solve any discrepancies, for none exist.
