Question: is this to be done with one single source, the Bible, or with multiple sources? You see...I've seen historical accounts that utterly disagree with the accounts laid forth in the Bible and raise some very important questions about others. In other words, the Bible as a historical document seems rather without much credibility to me.

Here's one for example: The Bible states that the whole world was covered in darkness for three hours after Christ's death. Why did none of the contemporary historians at the time record this event while having recorded less phenominal events by a great number? You'd think someone would have noticed.
