The scriptures themselves and Occam's Razor would demand an at-face-value acceptance of what the NT says about its writers.

Also, the fact that Koine Greek was used so extensively in the ANE at the time of Christ speaks volumes to the wisdom of God, in terms of the timing of the birth of his Son, because such wide usage of the language greatly facilitated the spread of the Gospel, as did, for that matter, the existence of the Roman empire and its vast network of roads that connected the ANE with Asian Minor and southern Europe.
