World's oldest Bible online

About 800 pages of the world's oldest surviving Bible have been pieced together and published on the Internet for the first time, experts in Britain said on Monday.
 
Really really cool!

Some interesting bits of info about the Codex Sinaiticus... this is not the Bible you read today.. its pretty different in a lot of ways.

It included whole books that are not in todays Bible (God word got changed.. a lot), the Epistle of Barnabas, and The Shepherd of Hermas.

It also had a different Old Testament to the one you know now. The OT back then was based on the Greek Septuagint and not the Hebrew Tanakh as it is today.

This is also far from a complete Bible, but such a fantastic piece of history.
