Come to think of it, Jesus was not an author. :-)

Actually, He is the author of the book of Revelation, is He not?
I guess I can see how you might argue this from the first verse of Revelation, but I think we have to say that John authored Revelation. If we think about it, Jesus revealed the truth contained in all the books of the Bible, not just Revelation. However, in his wisdom, he chose to inspire men and have them bear witness and author these writings. The subject is all about him, and so I suppose it is prudent that he not testify about himself.
By the way, I hope you don't think John was arrogant in that first verse. I can imagine that if I put something like that at the top of something I would write, a lot of people would be accusing me of arrogance. :-)
When we think about it, most of the twelve apostles were not authors. Do you think authors are overrated?
Peace be with you.
