Determining a book's truth.

When we make an examination of the bible it can be seen that it is inspired by God. For example, the hundreds of prophecies recorded over centuries and their fulfillment. The chronology of the recorded prophecy and its fulfillment can be verified and is also corroborated by secular history. Daniel recorded a prophecy of which he did not understand and yet in view of scripture recorded centuries later it makes sense! Are these evidences of inspiration? How would the bible writers separated by hundreds of years collude such information that is wonderfully harmonious over thousands of years? I hope this is a helping to roll the ball forward.
