What logical preconditions would guarantee that a book is of divine origin?
Many of the world's religions are based on a book or text that adherents claim to have been written by or directly inspired by a god, perhaps an omniscient, omnipotent and omnibenevolent one. Is there anything, in principle, that could be written in a text, that would convince a rational person that the text must have been written by a god, and in particular, that it could not have been written by a human being, even a very insightful one? That is to say, a logically valid indicator that the book was necessarily divinely inspired.
