Yes, Judaism is Biblical in that the Torah, which means Teachings, is the core of the Jewish religion. The history of Judaism can be found in the texts that make up the complete Jewish Bible, which is called the Tanach: Torah (Teachings), Nevi'im (Prophets), K'tuvim (Writings).

The Christian Old Testament was based on the Tanach, however, it was altered to support the teachings of Christianity.
