Literally all, the oldest books in it were written by Paul who was extremely open about the fact that he never met Jesus and didn’t believe any of it until years after Jesus was dead.

To nerd out on this, I think that could be a pretty good lesson. We already teach about primary and secondary sources. We'll have established the varying degrees of reliability, e.g. is the account of someone who was there, if not from where did they get the info. Oooh, that could get good.
