......the bible was essetially an act  political expediency. Constantine I created it as a sop to the Christians that helped him massacre the army of his co-Emperor, Maxentius. Constantine being a good Roman wasn't a great sharer of power and wanted sole control of the Western Empire. In order to raise the people against Maxentius who was killing Christians Constantine told them he'd allow their hokey religion as long as they fought with him - they did - Maxentius was killed the rest really is history!
