The Torah/Bible/Qur'an as a Historical Text...

[SuikodenII]

Whats up ya'll, I was just wondering if either or all three of these religious texts could or are already used as historical texts

If so, in what ways

If not, why not

Serious answers only please, school a brotha if you don't mind

what do you mean exactly? I know people who think the shyt in the bible actually happened....

 

[SuikodenII]

what do you mean exactly? I know people who think the shyt in the bible actually happened....

I mean using the Bible as a reference of history to those times, not whether Jonah was actually swallowed by a whale then lived to tell the tale

As far as people, places, events (war, movement, slavery, etc) go...

 

[MalickSyXShabbaz]

IN SOME PLACES YEAH,

FOR EXAMPLE THE QUR'AN REFERS TO A LOT OF HISTORICAL EVENTS THAT TOOK PLACE IN ARABIA BEFORE, DURING, AND AFTER THE PROPHET THAT CAN BE EXPANDED ON BY READING THE HADITH.
