  I don't know if anyone believes the bible is ENTIRELY mythical. The reigns of Kings David and Solomon are accepted. The bible can kind of be used as a primary source document. The challenge that historians have is separating fact from myth. They do so by finding corraborating evidence. For instance, The Law Code of Hammurabi, a code plagerized by the bible, there is a lot of useful information. But there is a lot of information about gods and goddesses. Because the code stated the cost to rent oxen to plow land, I know this agricultural society used plow oxen. Because coins are mentioned, I know this society used metallurgy. Hammurabi being called by the gods Anu and Bel---not so much.
