Wel..you need to be more specific.

Do you mean Historically accurate?

and by bible...are you incuding the OT?

Becuase theres quite a bit of actual "truth" in the bible, although much of it, is is being contested all the time by new discoveries.
Such as Moses may having been a military general in a mercenary army, thus why he was allowed to originally leave Egypt.

Or, such as having Roman records, to show that indeed Pontius Pilate was a Roman Govenor at the time of Jesus' supposed ressurection?

Jesus of Nazerath existed, he was born in Bethlehem, and went around teaching people. He may or may not have claimed to be son of God, and he was crucified by the Romans in Jerusalem.

I think that's about all that there's conclusive proof for - but I may be wrong.

I'm sorry, I meant to add in relation to Jesus's life - the Old Testament and other events in the New Testament might also have proof.

I would suggest asking someone who majors in religious studies such as this, oppose to asking a bunch of laymen on an internet forum.

All I know of, is that Jesus was a fairly common name at the time, in the region, that some Jesus was the son of a Roman soldier, and that a Jesus at some point got nicked.

Well, you wont find many people named "Jesus" back then.
You may find "Yashweh", however.
