Best Answer

Much of the Old Testament is in the form of a history book, and scholars continue to establish to what extent its narratives are based on actual fact. But The Bible is much more than a history book. First and foremost it is a scripture, sacred to Judaism and Christianity. It is also a compendium of ancient myths and legends.
