Not quite. The Bible has a valid historical context, in that most of the places and some of the people are historically authenticated, but to call it "real history" is a sweeping statement. The Bible is full of historical improbability, for example, the synoptics' account of the Passion events is very unlikely to have happened in that way, based on what we know about Jewish laws and customs of the time. And I won't even start on how one-off accounts of zombies walking the streets of Jerusalem, fig trees dying in a day, etc. contradict any attempt to class it as 'real history'.
