Best Answer

People shared information about Jesus Christ and His teachings through letters since the very beginning of Christianity. Not all letters that were written (nor all writings about Jesus) are included in The Bible. But the Catholic Church determined that some letters along with the Gospels and other writings were the Word of God and should be included in the Bible (aka the Canon of the Bible).

Letters were written in the New Testament to address issues, provide guidance, and offer encouragement to the early Christian communities. They were also used to clarify theological beliefs, establish church practices, and strengthen the faith of believers. These letters were written by apostles and other early Christian leaders to help spread the teachings of Jesus and maintain unity among the diverse Christian communities.
