Default How was Bible inspired?

I've pointed out a few times that the Bible was written by men. And not just men, but Jewish men. If the Bible was inspired by God, why are only Jews inspired?

I've struggled with this notion for a long time : What means, the authors of the books of the Bible were inspired?

I've come across explanations, like God dictated to the authors, like God spoke in their ear, like God entered into them with His Spirit, and guided their hand, like divine auto-writing, i.e. automatic writing

I don't find any of these explanations convincing.

Anyone else know how inspiration works?
