When you put it like that yea it's funny, but you missed something. The Bible is already a compilation of 66 books. These were penned by a bunch of different writers (40 or so depending on how many you attribute to books like Samuel through Chronicles, Psalms and Proverbs) who's writing already currently confirm each other. How many miracles do you want?? In order to find out if these books harmonize and confirm each it requires you to examine the contents of the books themselves. You can check other sources outside of these if you want, but we don't have to. And if you aren't a religion-practicing type of person, then how much do you expect to learn from examining the contents of the Bible anyway?
Actually non religious scholars and it's called textual criticism. They use multi-disciplinary studies to figure out what was really going on in the time periods that they are studying. So, it cannot be one thing, go and study on the methodologies that they use.
