Is the Bible an accurate account of Jesus life?
This question is a very important question. The foundation of the Christian faith is Jesus as revealed in the Bible. If the Bible cannot be trusted then the Christian faith has a big problem.  This is why many unbelievers begin with an attack on the Bible.  The following reasons should convince you that the Bible can be trusted and is a historically accurate account of Jesus life.
1. The number of early writings of the New Testament is very large. There are more than 5000 Greek documents. In addition, several thousand documents exist in ancient eastern languages such as the Syriac and Coptic languages. From these documents, we can be sure that we have the exact words of the original books with only a few words that are not certain. This vast number of documents of the Bible is greater than we have for every other ancient writer.  The number of early copies of the Bible are greater than we have for Confucius, Lao-Tze, Plato or Aristotle.  This does not prove that the Bible is true but does show that we have an accurate record of the books of the Bible.
2. There is a short time period between the actual events of Jesus life and the writing of the books of the Bible. All the books in the Bible were written in the first century and most books were written before 65 A.D.  The books of the Bible were written by those who were eyewitnesses to the events.  Therefore myths and legends could not have developed. 
3.We have numerous copies which are dated only 100 to 300 years after the actual events. This time period is very short compared to all the other books of the ancient times. Most other ancient books have time gaps of 500 years or more after the actual events occurred. The writings of Confucius, the Analects, there is a time gap of 500 years between the life of Confucius and the earliest partial copy of the Analects.  No one questions that we have a accurate copy of this book.
4. There are early non-Christian writings that mention Jesus that do not contradict the Bible.  The authors of these writings include Tacitus, a Roman historian, and Josephus, a Jewish historian.
5. The authors of the New Testament books were eye-witnesses of the events that occurred.  These writers wrote in a historical style of writing and emphasized that these are things they saw and heard with their own eyes and ears.
6. All the New Testament writers (except one) were killed because of their testimony.  These writers could have saved their life if they just admitted that their writings were false.  All the writers refused to change their testimony and went to their death insisting that they were telling the truth.

These six reasons should be enough to convince everyone that we have an accurate copy of the Bible and that the Bible is accurate about the first century events including Jesus life and Jesus sayings.
