Using the same criteria by which we judge other historical works, not only is the Bible reliable, it is more reliable than any other comparable writings. As is true with any historical work, not every detail in the Bible can be directly confirmed. The Bible cannot be called unreliable simply because it contains parts that cannot be verified or have not yet been confirmed. More importantly, no facts presented in the Old or New Testaments have been shown to be false. This historical reliability is crucial to our trust in other statements made in Scripture. Even the “miraculous” occurrences of Genesis have an evidential basis we can appeal to today.

Accurate copying is also an essential factor in the Bible’s reliability.
Historians have access to a tremendous number of manuscripts, proving the New Testament was reliably and quickly copied and distributed. This gives great confidence that what we read today correctly represents the original writing.
 
Comparing earlier and later manuscripts showed a Careful approach to transmission, once again adding to our confidence that what we have today represents the original texts.

For example, there are 251 copies of the works of Julius Caesar, There are 109 copies of the works of the Historian Herodotus, Archaeologists have found 1800+ manuscript copies of the works of Homer & there are currently more than 5,000 manuscripts of the New Testament.
 
In short, we not only have objective reasons to claim the Bible is reliable, but we cannot call it unreliable without throwing out almost everything else we know of ancient history.
