To Yank's point about the historical accuracy of the bible, its widely been assumed that parts of the bible were edited or mistranslated by scholars.

I also heard an interesting theory put fourth by one Pastor who told me that he believes much of the Bible never happened but instead serves the purpose of better explaining who god is and his teachings.

Finally I'd like to recommend the book "The Secret History of Christianity" its worth a read when it comes to who Christ was/is & biblical accuracy.
