The oldest Bible in the world has finally been pieced together thanks to online technology, according to Reuters:

The surviving parts of the world’s oldest Bible were reunited online Monday, generating excitement among scholars striving to unlock its mysteries.

The Codex Sinaiticus was hand-written by four scribes in Greek on animal hide, known as vellum, in the mid-fourth century around the time of the Roman emperor Constantine the Great who embraced Christianity.

This is extremely exciting to see and I’m glad that online technology has been highlighted as the tool that made it all happen. It’s these types of “watershed” moments that should continue to encourage people (and ministries) to use technology for the advancement of the Gospel.

You can actually see the results here at Codex Sinaiticus. Read more about this historic event here.
