 Monday Night We're continuing our look at the history of the Scriptures. We're moving on to the history of the New Testament writings. There are around 5,500 manuscripts (MSS) of the New Testament...many are partial fragments, some are complete codices, the majority date to after 1,000 A.D. Among the 5,500 MSS there are 100,000 variants (or differences) and no single manuscript is the same as any other. What this all means is the topic of Monday's discussion. We'll be meeting at St. Patrick's again. Prayer service from the Book of Common prayer is at 6:30pm. Study should begin about 7:00pm Files for Monday: Errors and Variants in Scribal Transmission and a Gospel Variants List. Image is a page from Codex Sinaiticus, 4th Century
