Almost all Christians affirm the truth of The Bible to some degree or another. The most extreme conservative example would be those of those Fundamentals who hold that the Bible is inerrant - that is - without error of any kind or degree, that it is the literal words of God.
An extreme liberal example would be those who follow the ideas of the Jesus Seminar where we have a group of liberal scholars get together, set up what they think are good scientific criteria, and then determine what parts of the Bible actually happened and what Jesus said. In the case of the Fundamentalists human reason is not applied to any text and the text sits in judgment on all reason; in the case of the Jesus Seminar folks, their reason is king and they sit in judgment on the text.
