The books were written later by people who were close to Jesus or had direct interactions with him (specifically, Saul/Paul of Tarsus). The belief is that God inspired them to write the books and letters.

I'm going to need some actual proof on that one. All the writings about Jesus are agreed by historians and theologians to be written decades after Jesus death.

And Paul never met Jesus while he was alive, and only claimed to meet him in some vision he had in the desert.

And what good is divinely inspired? Can it be wronged after men put it to paper?
