No credible history professor considers the Bible a reliable historical text.
THe Bible was also written a couple hundred years after the supposed death of Christ, so it is NOT contemporary.

You have any links, or basically anything to back that up?
Textcritic, can you weigh in on this?
On the last comment I mean.
I don't disagree that the Bible shouldn't be viewed as historical text.
I found this...

It is generally agreed that the Book of Matthew was the first Gospel written and that it was written between A.D. 50 and 75. Of the four Gospel's, John's is considered to have been the last one written, around A.D. 85. The Book of Acts, a historical account of the establishment of the early Christian church, is believed to have been written by one of the Apostle Paul's associates, around A.D. 62 (near the end of Paul's imprisonment in Rome).
The Pauline Epistles (the Apostle Paul's letters to the early church) were authored between A.D. 50 - 67. The author of Hebrews is unknown, but the book is commonly thought to have been written around A.D. 70. The epistles of the other Apostles were written between A.D. 48 - 90.
The Book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ is believed to have been penned by the Apostle John between A.D. 70 - 95.
