Answering Islam - A Christian-Muslim dialog

1500 Years Old Bible found in Turkey?

Jochen Katz

Over the last several weeks, the issue of an early Bible manuscript found in Turkey and allegedly supporting Islamic doctrine has been pushed in various media outlets. By now, Google lists thousands of pages – online newspapers, Youtube videos, blogs, discussion boards, etc. which cover this “news.”

What exactly are the claims? What is established fact? What is mere imagination? What are the questions that need to be asked and answered?

Here are the most essential articles that I have found so far which together appear to present convincing evidence that this artefact is a relatively recent forgery, not a genuine ancient Bible manuscript.

(More evidence to be added as it becomes available …)
