The Bible is a remarkable book that stands alone in all literature. Penned by 40 different authors over a period of 2000 years, it stays absolutely consistent in its story line, promises, prophecies, moral teachings, and the depictions of the nature and purposes of God who is "the same yesterday, today and forever."
I can conceive that a single author could create a mystical tome as a hoax, or that a handful of conspirators could fabricate a progressive fantasy to pass off as eternal truth. But for 40 authors--most of them unacquainted--whose writings span centuries to continue a story with a single thread of intention, fulfilled prophecies, and historical facts (born out by secular writings and archeological findings)? Coincidence or conspiracy are unlikely in the extreme! I see no plausible explanation apart from divine inspiration.
Psalm 119:138, 140
The statutes you have laid down are righteous; they are fully trustworthy.
Your promises have been thoroughly tested, and your servant loves them.
