Have you ever wanted to look at a 1,600 year old manuscript of the Bible?  If so, you can now go to Codex Sinaiticus and view digital images of the actual pages of the ancient codex.  It is pretty impressive, especially since the actual pages themselves are stored in various locations around the world and are not easily accessible.

The hand-written Greek text contains both the Septuagint and the New Testament, and you can zoom in/out, and view both transcriptions and translations of the codex.  Check it out!

For those of you who are taking the first four-week Foundations course at Westwood, here are some resources you can refer to if you want to study the topics some more:

• The Aleppo Codex
• Codex Sinaiticus
• The Bible: The Holy Canon of Scripture
• The Development of the Canon of the New Testament
• How Accurate is the Bible?
• Christian Authority
• The Inspired Revelation of God
• Inductive Bible Study
• Inductive Bible Study Hints

Have fun!

For those of you who like original language and manuscript stuff, here are three very cool sites:

• The Aleppo Codex (Hebrew Bible / Old Testament)
• Codex Sinaiticus (Septuagint and New Testament)
• The Great Isaiah Scroll (Qumran / Dead Sea)

Happy reading!
