Well this is interesting. I think Doobie summed up my view pretty well earlier.
And Vlad's right:
All religious texts have to be written by man and their is now way to prove they're accurate or true than any other historical text or myth. You have to look at them with the context of the times, the surrounding archaelogical evidence and the purpose of the text in question. I believe someone used the metaphor of the Iliad as a complete reference to the Siege of Troy; the same would apply to using only the New Testament to explain the events described in it (it'd be silly).
