As was already pointed out, there were a lot of preacher dudes running around that area 2000 years ago and we have found records of a bunch of them because there were plenty of people running around documenting poo poo too.

The first book chronologically was written after the others. The story of Adam and Eve leading to Exodus was only passed along as a spoken story, similar to folklore.

The epic of Gilgamesh also refers to a great flood, this of course dates back to Mesopotamia and before.

I personally think the Judas betrayal was arranged as in Jesus was aware (not through divine sources) that Judas betrayes him and in fact told him to do so.

My favourite stories are of Sampson & Delilah and Boaz & Ruth. As far as I am aware the Jesus being descended from Ruth/Boaz and subsequently David is still canon.

The first book, written in 94ad or w/e, i forget the name because they're all the same like Peter Paul Sam etc
