1. Have any fragments of the New Testament from the first centuries of Christianity survived to this day?
Correct answer: №5Correct!Educational materials: Credibility of the BibleComment:About 200 fragments of papyri and uncial manuscripts survive from the first centuries. The 5,000 surviving manuscripts (uncial and minuscule) date from the 5th to 15th centuries.
No other document of antiquity was copied so often or so recognised. Compared to the New Testament, Homer's Iliad, the next most widely copied text, has survived in 643 manuscripts. The first complete text of Homer that has survived only dates back to the thirteenth century.
