Unfortunately the answer is both yes and no.

Yes, because there was no other author of the first century who kept a better record of early Christian history. Even Acts of the Apostles, thought to have been written ealry in the second century, seems to contain too much contradictory material to be a genuine history of the church.

No, because Paul only recorded details of his own mission, which was probably just a small part of early Christian history. He recorded those details not as a historian would, but as a consequence of the letters he wrote.

Scholars are gradually piecing together the early history of the church, but this is a slow and frustrating task, becasue of the lack of evidence or a clear record of just what happened within Christianity in its early years.
