He didnt, contrary to popular belief, God didnt send us a bible, God sent us the Holy Ghost.
Most people couldnt even read back when the new testament was being written so why give a scroll to a bunch of folks who cant read, makes no sense.
Instead they had apostles lay hands on em and get the gift of the Holy Ghost and baptism in water.

The Israelites/Jews didn't have their own copies of the "old testament", they were taught the scriptures though.
So technically Jesus "religion" is based on the "religion of the book" and so are the writings of the new testament.

No - Jesus read from the scriptures:
Luke 4:16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.
Luke 4:17 And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,
Others read the scriptures:
Acts 17:11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
2 Tim 3:15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

Joh 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
Gods word is much more than a book although a book provides a written record of it.
The printing press made the word of God available to many more souls and spurred civilizations development.
Mt 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
God places great value on His word.
For the cause of Christ

If Christianity was the "religion of the book" then Jesus Christ would have urged His disciples to write about Him and about His teaching. But He didn't. He asked them to love one another and to love God. He didn't even intend to form a new religion. Christianity is not supposed to be a new religion, but a new way of existence: one based on love and freedom.

Yes. He told His disciples to go and tell all nations the good news: that He obtained freedom (for us, humans) from decay and death through His sacrificial love and resurrection. The baptism in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost meant that you united with the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and that you became part of His Body/Church.

If God intended for Israel to be His exclusive people, why didn't He just beam them out of Egypt and into Canaan and then at the snap of His fingers give them a temple in Jerusalem?
What is the meaning of OP question? What is the underlying message? I don't understand.

Last time I checked people came equipped with something called the tongue,and usually two ears to go with it. The Gospel was spread many,many years before the printing press came along. God can make a donkey share the Gospel,He doesn't need a printing press.

That Sola Scriptura approach is wrong...?
That the existence of the Christian Church comes before the writing of the New Testament?
To explain the discrepancies found in the narratives of the New Testament? These discrepancies clearly show that there was more than one version of the accounts circulating orally.
