So this is the question:
Is the Bible an esoteric book? Is it allegoric? Or is it a historical account of
what actually took place? Could it be...both? Yes? No? Maybe?...Why?

All of the above. The only debate is over how much of each.

The Bible is an anthology of many pieces of writing, in many genres, including those mentioned in the OP.
