A recent article from the Daily Mail with very interesting information and a personal story from a scholar about some of the oldest New Testament scroll fragments ever discovered:
Tucked away in Oxford University’s historic library are the oldest surviving New Testament fragments, papyrus texts nearly 2,000 years old that are among Christianity’s most treasured writings.
For Dr Jeremiah Johnston, who has studied the Magdalen Papyrus P64 extensively, being one of the few people allowed to hold the pieces of historic scripture was ‘the single most awe-inspiring experience this side of heaven.’
‘I’m holding that fragment, and to know that it’s 2,000 years old, and to know that it’s true, and that the scales of truth tip in the favor of Christianity, was transformational for me.’
