And the original Apostles don't have such a history ?

Huh? It's the Protestants that don't have this history.

Even in the pre-printing press world, christians were commanded to be discerning in their acceptance of teaching.

Yeah? Doesn't mean that everyone could read or had his own private Bible. I gather most would just have to trust someone to read the Scriptures to them.

And if I, a believer, have (access to the teachings of) the Apostles, ... why would I need history ?

And the difference, other than convenience, is what ?
