Answer:

Because of the vast number of virtually unchanged manuscripts which have been found of it's books. Works of literature and authoritative historical documents have their validity based on forensic evidence. Forensic evidence in cases of ancient literature is the copies itself that were written down and copied many years ago. The more manuscripts which are found of a piece of literature increases its validity. In the case of Homer's Odyssey - a piece of literature which is required reading in English classes in some universities, around 500 copies have been found, if memory serves me correctly. In the case of the New Testament - which is the last 26 books found in The Bible, over 25,000 manuscripts have been found which gives it a great deal of validity and authority.
