“If you go to the beginning of Luke, e.g., there is no claim of divine authorship; there is only the earnest desire to tell people about Jesus. Luke 1:”
There doesn’t need to be such a claim.

“This is what sets us apart from the Mohammedans, Petronius. They believe that God dictated the Koran. Joseph Smith would have us believe that God dictated the BOM and the other Mormon tomes.
Where does the Bible say that God dictated the NT?”
I know of no Christian that claims dictation as the means for producing the Bible. Nevertheless, the Scripture is clear that the Bible was not the product of the “will of man”. It is a document of Divine, not human origin.

Just for the record, would you please elaborate on this?
