With questions like..."Who wrote the Bible?" and "What are the basic teachings of Christ?"...You make we think you are either not Christians or this is some kind of test I need to pass.

In either case...at the end of my original post, I have 4 book references...the last one being the Bible.

There are a number of versions...all with multiple authors...all purporting to be transcribing the Word of God. Read that: directly from God. The history of the written bible can be found in any library, or just "google", Bible. Pick an interpretation (or 2) and if you can read Greek...you may be closest to the original written words...if you can find them. Some of the best historic documents on the bible can be found in the archives of the original Christian Church, at the Vatican. I doubt you can get to them.

As to Christ's teachings... not to offend anyone but if you have to ask...maybe you didn't pay good enough attention in Sunday School. Once again...research can help clarify it for you. In my original post, I hit some of the high points. Read Christ's "Sermon on the Mount" for the best synopsis. (Matthew 5-7; Luke 6)
