The world's oldest surviving semi-complete copy of the Bible, a 4th-century manuscript in ancient Greek that was discovered in a waste-paper bin by a German scholar, is set to be published online.

I'd suggest pointing to the actual full article linked in the blog, otherwise this becomes a game of telephone... this site says that that site says... that that site said, etc.-

This ought to be interesting.
In waste bin. That's a place many people may have wished it stayed. -
If it is old, and a scholar is putting it online, then THIS must be the REAL bible!

To be honest why do we need to look at old propaganda books? We've got enough now days...

Yes we should all look at OLD propaganda books, especially the people that are so intent on the new ones..
Bible beaters don't seem to be concerned at the amount of re-writes in the books history.. odd.
Pretty cool, nice post. Would love to see the actual 'bin' bible text, and what was modified. Perhaps the editor was suffering a sore case of writers block and self-scrutiny the day he trashed it...

It should be interesting to read this and see how it compares to our modern versions.

I would be interested to read if this version of the Bible actually mentioned humans living in North America, Australia, China, Mexico, etc.
I've always found it curious that Christians insist that the Hebrew Bible written 3,000 years ago perfectly describes a universal God that created ALL human beings everywhere on earth....yet this universal God (and all of His laws and teachings) remained totally unknown to about, oh 80 percent of the world until the missionaries got there thousands of years later. And, also, no one in the Bible seemed to be aware (at all) that there were other human beings in other parts of the world. Surely a universal god that really and truly DID create all humans beings and DID watch over them (even if they happened to live in Mexico) would have mentioned this to one of the scribes, no?
Maybe this version mentions people living in North America?
That would go a long way in my mind to proving this this particular god really is universal.
