The World’s Oldest Bible… Online

matt_body
A new piece of the oldest Bible has been found in Egypt.  The text is known as the Codex Sinaiticus and dates from the 4th century.  A researcher who says he happened to come upon it as he was looking through photographs of manuscripts recently found this new fragment of the Codex.   The text was hand written in greek on animal skin, and is the earliest known version of the bible.

An online version of the codex was recently made available.  To see it, CLICK HERE.
