Too many to list, but here's a few-
Written by God through over 40 different men,
Never biased in man's favor,
Prophecies 100% accurate,
Written over a time that spanned centuries
(try getting even two people to agree on religious subjects, yet all these do agree)
And, to finish this short list, this is a book that speaks to the human in every age, every culture, every race, every where.
No other book can do that.

The most important way is that it is inspired by God. So just a manufacturer will put a manual so that the person who purchases his product would know how to operate it, so too God gave us the bible, inspired some 40 different indiduals who all wrote God's thoughts and not theirs, to write the bible for all of us today. )2timothy3:16,17) So the bible is for our benefit. It is more than a best seller, because although, as history shows, there has been very many instances to 'silence' the bible's message yet there hardly any household who does not have the bible, or any individual who has not heard or come in contact with the bible. Jesus says that even if heaven and earth passes away, his word would remain forever. We can see the truthfullness of those words today. All its prophesies has been fulfilled in times past and future ones would also be fulfilled. Besides The bible has been written in more languages than any other book. Its accuracy in all matters cannot be disputed. Yes Indeed, The Bible is the Unique and Inspired |Word of God!!!

One of the most obvious ways it is different is that its been on the best-sellers list since its inception.
Beyond that, when you read Scripture with understanding - and I stress here - with understanding - you see that even though the Books of the Bible were written often thousands of years apart from one another, that they all fit like a glove. Also, the prophecies already fulfilled are amazing - you aren't gonna find any where else that someone can predict the future a thousand years ahead of time. An example that comes to mind is Jesus on the Cross. Ya know when He said God, God why hast thou forsaken me? People think He was upset with God for not helping Him. Wrong! What Jesus was doing was reciting Psalms 22; where 1000 years before the event, it was written that He would be crucified, and even what the Roman soldiers would be doing at the foot of that cross. He was teaching even from the Cross itself.
Anyone who denies the Holy Scriptures either has not read them with understanding, or else has not eyes and ears to see or hear truth.
Jesus Christ is the living Word of God.

Okay. I'm jewish, and I can tell you how it's different from the Torah aka Tanah. First of all, the Bible is in Latin. Second of all, it's much shorter than the Torah, because the Torah is like over 10 fatassed books long and it's all on some ancient Hebrew which I really don't wanna read the rest of my life like many other Hasidic Jews. Well, what else? from other books, it defers since it's "HoLY". get it? Well I hope that helped!

The Bible is actually a collection of books. Any other book that is a collection of books is called an anthology. The Bible is the only anthology I know of that is actually referred to as a book all the time.

The Bible is the only book that bases its authenticity and authority on prophecy. No other books, such as the Koran, the Hindu Vedas, the Book of Mormon, the sayings of Budda or Confucious, have the element of prophecy in them.

The main thing separating the Bible from any other work of fiction based on history is that it is accepted by some as complete fact.

The Word of God- which is absolute truth, unlike most other books that are relative- It is inspired and God breathed.

It is inspired. It is a collection of 66 books written over about 3000 years. To have its consistency it must be superhuman. It tells us the truth about ourselves, and about the Almighty. there simply is no similarity, except they both use ink and paper.
