I think you'll find, as Dr. Bill Craig argues in his Resurrection Lectures, that many scholars do grant the basic historicity of certain naturalistic facts in the Life of Christ, for e.g. the fact of His Death and Burial, His Empty Tomb, the Apostles' beginning to believe and to preach that He was risen, their Martyrdom etc.
