The Bible isn't the only holy book with a claim to authenticity

Its the only book where the lead character is raised in the flesh and is raised to heaven.

Think about it - He raised others from the dead too - Its documented Lazarus was so dead he stunk - but Christ raised him from the dead and did so for the glory of God.

Christ was sinless - in His heart and His soul - wholly man and wholly the Son of God, God himself, sent so that our relationship with the Father could be restored.

Deny it - but before you do - at least challenge yourself to learn about it

Can't claim to read them all (there are hundreds afterall) but taking that entirely as fact, what does it matter with regard to determining authenticity to point that out? How does that aspect of the story make it convincing, or at least more convincing, than the other religions?

Think about it - He raised others from the dead too - Its documented Lazarus was so dead he stunk - but Christ raised him from the dead and did so for the glory of God.

Various miracles of all descriptions have been ascribed to god(s) in holy texts. What is distinct about this one? For example, other religions claim eternal life through continual rebirth on earth. But I don't understand why that claim is more or less credible than yours. Indeed, given the demonstrable importance of reproduction to life on this planet, it seems even more plausible.

I have.
