A. Most of the New Testament is letters from Paul to the different churches, and since there's a New Testament that means there is an Old Testament. Jesus wasn't born till the New Testament and then He was only talking in the four gospels, so it's not B. Monks didn't come around till about the Dark Ages and the Bible was completed in c. 200 A.D., so it's not C. :)
