There is no mention of Jesus but there is a mention of a Teacher of Righteousness from the second century BCE, who some have seen as the real Jesus.
The Dead Sea Scrolls provided the oldest available manuscripts of the Hebrew scriptures written in their original languages, and allowed scholars to check the accuracy of the Masoretic texts used by Judaism, as well as the accuracy of the Septuagint, an early Greek translation of the Hebrew scriptures. Whenever the Septuagint seemed to favour Christianity, when compared with the Masoretic texts, Christian apologists had accused the Jews of altering their own holy scriptures to disadvantage Christianity. The Dead Sea Scrolls showed that the Masoretic texts were little changed from the scriptures in use early in the first century CE. This proved that most discrepancies between the Septuagint and the Masoretic texts were the result of mistranslations by the authors of the Septuagint.
At first the Bible was probably translated through word of mouth. Once the Israelites had a writing system they began writing it on scrolls. Things like Hindu teachings actually predate any Biblical writing, but that just shows that Eastern people began writing things down faster than the Israelites in the middle east. There are pieces of papyrus (a kind of leaf ancient people used to make scrolls) with different sections of the Bible that date back before Jesus time (the most notable is the Dead Sea Scrolls). This is important because it basically proves that the we see the same Old Testament that Jesus did 2000 years ago.
The Dead Sea scrolls were written by a sect of Christianity called the Gnostic's a mystical branch of Christians. This sect died out and is not represented in Christianity today. The best example I can give today would be Christian Scientists. However, to answer your question, Christianity is well established and documented by many historians dating to the 1st century.

the dead sea scrolls!!
The Dead Sea Scrolls are a collection of Jewish religious and secular documents, many of them dating back to pre-Christian times. There is no irrefutable reference among the scrolls to Jesus. There are references to cryptic persons such as the "Teacher of Righteousness", but there is no evidence that the Teacher, or any other person mentioned in the scrolls, is meant to be Jesus.Nevertheless, some scholars have sought to find evidence about early Christianity among the scrolls. For example, Robert Eisenman (The Dead Sea Scrolls and the First Christians) sees a possible reference to Jesus in the Damascus Document, and believes "Teacher of Righteousness" may have been James the Just.
