Yes, the Bible does pass the internal test, but it does so about the same as other ancient documents. In the discussion of the internal test, the text talks about how one must apply Aristotle’s dictum because all ancient documents have difficulties. Thus, the Bible passes that test, but the question asks what tests does the Bible pass BETTER than other tests. It passes the external test better because more archaeology has been compared to the Bible than any other work, and it passes the bibliographic test better because no other ancient work has nearly the number of confirming documents.
