Portions of the world's most historical manuscript, the Codex Sinaiticus, is now available on the Internet.


Parts of the world's oldest New Testament are expected to go online today and the rest of the book is expected to be published online later this year.

Handwritten in Greek, the Codex Sinaiticus, will include photographs of each page and links to English and German translations. The book also contains portions of the Old Testament as well as numerous books that were not included in the Bible.

The process has been quite difficult as the priceless Bible has been divided and resides in four different countries. Experts from all over the world have united in order to make this historical manuscript available for all to see.

To see the manuscript, visit the Codex Sinaiticus website. As of this writing, the website is "temporarily unavailable" due to high demand. Keep trying!
