See the World’s oldest Bible online for free

July 7, 2009


The Codex Sinaiticus project brings the oldest known Bible online, making it accessible to everyone.  It is quite fascinating to take a look at the old manuscripts, some of the books have been translated into English too, so you can read the translation alongside the original manusript.

The Codex Sinaiticus was interesting to me as it contains the 66 books of our King James Bible, plus the books of the Apocrypha written during the period between the testaments.  Also, at the end of the Codex is The Shephard Hermas (a popular Christian book from the 1st Century AD) and Barnabas.  I am waiting for the translation of Barnabas to become available, as I think it’d be interesting to read this – although I am not convinced it was written by the Apostle bearing the same name.

    I like the style changes. I also am glad you have posted this resource. While I have doubts as to the reliability of the Codex Sinaiticus, I do like that it is now available for study online.

    God bless,
