PATH OF 100 MONKEYS







RESEARCH module:
Genesis is the first book of the Bible, or so they say.
The composition of the Bible varies over the centuries. Constantine the Great stimulated an official Bible, who would be used all over the Empire. The bishops at Nicea provided one. These manuscripts are lost in history and it is not untill the 9th and 10th century, that Bile-manuscripts survived untill now.
The Bible I use, contains an Old Testament (39 books, 1119 pages) and a New Testament (27 books, 322 pages).
The Bible, we use, is the result of a process of elimination. Existing “spiritual manuscripts”, in use by the early Christians, were left out and sometimes banned as heretical.
The Death Sea-scrolls (found shortly after WW2), the Nag Hamadi-library and other finds delivered original manuscripts, scrolls and even unknown gospels, which still have to find a place in theology and history.
Do some research and make another list of “biblical books”.
