We at least know that the Apostles were real people since Paul’s authentic letters depict him having to haul a sack of collections money to Peter and the extant living Apostles, nevermind his arguments with them over whether Gentiles should be circumcised, a debate which would yield the universality of Christian belief rather than being an extended Hebrew sect.

The books in the Bible that describe Jesus as a historical figure are written after Paul has died.
