[Jan]

I'm sorry Jan, but I don't recognise the Bible you describe there.
The Bible I am familar with tells the history of God's relationship with mankind. It tells the story of how God prepared humanity from the disaster of Original Sin to its redemption by Christs death on the cross and His Resurrection. In short it tells the story of the Salvation of humanity.
Here is a link to a course of study on Salvation History.

Surely you are aware of how the bible came to be though Saundy (Council of Nicea and all that)?

Finally, I think you will find Jan (iirc) that most Christians are fully aware that the Bible is a library of documents that were written over a period of up to 1000 years (though probably nearer 600).  It is usually something that is introduced in Sunday school groups early in the piece.

I know Andy - I went to a Christian Sunday School - I also taught at Sunday School for a period of time. Still though we have Christians that aren't truly aware of what the bible is or how it came to be.
