What humans don't know (not even Mohammad) is the process of human witnessing. What elements make a human witnessing valid. Humans are kept in the darkness though they take it for granted when making use of it without their awareness.
It is a Jewish tradition that you need to two witnesses to testify in order for a testimony to stand valid. This is the basic measure to avoid false testimonies (such as Koran?). Even Jesus needs 2 witnesses in the absence of any humans. He has God the Father and God the Holy Spirit to be His witnesses.
This makes an human account of testimony a valid one.
Both OT and NT are multiple account testimonies, but not any other holy books. It shows that the authors of those other holy books are clueless about the human witnessing is.
In order for a valid account of testimony to work, you need to first preach it, then you need faith to believe. Daily News on TVs are undergoing the same exact process. The piece of news first needs to be broadcast (preached), then the audience need faith in the media for the contents to stand as facts. Multiple witnesses, preaching, believe with faith are thus the 3 elements of a valid human witnessing to stand. We can choose to watch only one TV channel but that's provided we already build up faith in its credibility and reliability. Before we consider this channel as a reliable one, most likely we cross reference other media to confirm a piece of important news.
OT prophets are all called God's witnesses explicitly. Preaching the to the whole world to invite faith is an explicit commandment. No other holy book can make it explicit at all or to this extent.
Then the next is why a religion is a must to be employed. It is because humans don't (didn't) have the capability of keeping original documents, especially before the invention of paper. Inside today's great libraries, not a single book has its full ancient manuscripts successfully conserved by humans (unless you try to fallacious argue that one piece of manuscript can be used to support a book of 1000 pages).
The only document with mass amount of manuscripts or even a complete set (Dead Sea Scrolls for OT) of manuscripts is the Bible, which existed before the invention of paper. A religion plays a key role in conserving a complete theology and to bring it across history before the invention of paper.
The next is how the Bible's contents are secured? God authenticated the Jews to secure the OT Canon. They are stubborn (may not be a good word) people that no one can add or subtract any contents from the Canon they are guarding. God's earthly church, though intangible, successfully guards the NT Canon thus no one can add or subtract contents. Mormon tried but not that successfully, it's thus widely considered as heresy.
Such a kind of authentication itself is formal and explicit.
Law and Prophets are proclaimed till John the Baptist, since then the gospel is to be preached. This marks a formal and explicit announcement that the NT is effective from John the Baptist and onward.
There's another verse saying that binding and loosing (lawful authority) goes through Peter as the authority of the intangible earthly church. This authentication of earthly church is formal and explicit. It's as lawful as it can be. This is a formal announcement of authority shift from the Jews to the Church of Christians.
All the measure mentioned may have anything to do with Satan's attack. Because the NT Bible is true in terms of salvation, Satan will have to launch his attack. It drives the need of canonization which actually further secures the contents of our NT Bible.
In comparison, other holy books are a joke!
