How can I be sure that the today s Bible is complete? -- Alexander Belov (Moscow)

Short answer: 
1. The New Testament expresses the assurance that the Old Testament is inspired.
2. The inspiration of the New Testament is guaranteed by its apostolic connection to Jesus Christ.
3. Other writings penned much later than the apostolic period and contradicting the Scriptures were unable to win acceptance in the canon.

Long answer:
1. See my audio sets How We Got the Bible and also The Lost Books of the Bible.
2. See Neil Lightfoot s book  How We Got the Bible.
