About this deal
One of the most interesting things about the Coverdale Bible was the man who did most of the work in creating it. His name was Myles Coverdale, and he made a career out of Bible printing. In addition to this Bible, he also worked on other Bibles, including the Geneva Bible and the Great Bible. When you look at the Codex Sinaiticus as a whole, there are large parts of the Old Testament that are missing. However, it is widely accepted that originally, the full Old Testament was part of the codex. Approximately half of the Old Testament remains, and the full New Testament is part of the display.

So on the seventh day, the Sunday, He had a well-deserved break! This is why Sundays are a special day of rest for Christians too. Mostly translated by William Tyndale, with help from Myles Coverdale, the Bible is one of the most significant in Christian history. It was the primary translation for many years, and it was even brought to America by the Pilgrims on the Mayflower. The Geneva Bible was also the first mechanically printed Bible to be mass produced, and was widely available to the general public. You can still find the Geneva Bible today. Throughout the book there are lots of opportunities to keep children involved with questions and activities, as well as scripture references for older children to follow up. The Codex Sinaiticus was widely considered to be the oldest Bible in existence until the actual oldest Bible was scientifically dated. The manuscript was discovered in the 19 th century, though it was incomplete. Other parts of the same manuscript were found in both the 20 th and 21 st centuries. Today, the majority of these parts are on display at the British Library, which is in London. The Codex Vaticanus has been kept at the Vatican Library since around the 15 th century, and it is the oldest known Bible in existence. The verses are printed on sheets of vellum, and it is believed that it was translated by at least three scribes.
TEACHER: I’ve a feeling if we wait a little minute we’ll get some light. Today we’re going to learn about how Christians believe God is the creator of all things! In the Bible, it says that God created the world in seven days. And on the first day He created… light! The Aleppo Codex is a full manuscript of the Bible. It was held and protected for more than 1,000 years in a number of Jewish communities in Egypt, Jerusalem, and Syria, which is where it gets its name. It was held in Syria until 1958, when it was smuggled out of the country and given to Izhak Ben-Zvi,the President of Israel. The Geneva Bible was created in 1560 in Geneva, Switzerland. However, it was an English Bible. During the reign of Queen Mary, many English theologians fled to other parts of Europe to continue their religious studies. It was due to this migration that the Geneva Bible came to be. The Bishop’s Bible was translated by fewer than 10 bishops, and was based on three earlier versions of the Bible: one in Greek, one in Latin, and one in Hebrew. Unfortunately, the language is quite archaic, there are several blunders, and though it’s possible to find, it’s rarely re-printed, today.
