Before I could answer that, I would need to have a good look at this book, without looking into the book thoroughly, it would be unwise to make my decision either way.

I believe in such a thing. I am a Christian after all!
The thing that many miss about Christianity is that it's not just abut someone believing and reading the Bible. It's about the Holy Spirit and it's interaction between the believer. Don't miss that point, whether you believe it or not! There is this other force at work with the Christian. The Holy Spirit was promised by Jesus at the end of John 15, and in the midst of John 16. God delivers on all His promises, and believers like me remember what receiving the Holy Spirit is like, and it's more than you imagine. Also, it can occur when alone in a dark room like it happened to me, not in a church full of Pentecostals.
So my 'ENTIRE BELIEF SYSTEM' is not only on the Bible, and my insistence. It has to do with my memory as well! Because I remember the quickening I received, I can interact with the Holy Spirit every day of my life and hope to continue doing so.
For those who think it's something else . . . . . that's their problem. The proof of God is in the Holy Spirit, and God only gives the proof out to those He wants to give it out to!

Give me a brake, Anyone that reads the question know you are talking about The Bible and then you say I quote " Let us assume that this book has no prior status in you particular culture unquote. Lets be real on this question THE BIBLE. You didn't have to say it but you implied it.
By the way quote I DON'T LIKE YOU unquote.

If you could prove that it was authored by God, yes.
