Due to the powers of the Internet, parts of the oldest living Christian bible in the world are now available for viewing online.

The text of the Codex Sinaiticus will be displayed in its entirety for the first time in 150 years today after researchers brought together and digitized its four sections kept in cities thousands of miles apart. The pages include the whole of the New Testament and the earliest surviving copy of the Gospels written at different times after Christ’s death by Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, notes Reuters. The bible, which was written about 1,600 years ago in the 4th century on more than 800 pages of animal-skin parchment, is available to everyone, thanks to a collaboration between Britain, Egypt, Germany and Russia. Each country has held different parts of the ancient book after it was bought on behalf of the Russian Tsar in the mid-19th century. The text was written in Greek by four scribes during the time of Roman emperor Constantine the Great, who embraced Christianity. 

"The significance of Codex Sinaiticus for the reconstruction of the Christian Bible’s original text, the history of the Bible and the history of Western bookmaking is immense," says the website. And experts say it is "a window into the development of early Christianity."
