Preserving the Word of God in the Garbage
About this episode
The episode discusses the significance of ancient New Testament fragments found in an Egyptian landfill and the implications of their preservation.
We consider an ancient landfill found in Egypt - which contains the oldest known New Testament fragments ever found. We look at the very negative view that the ancient Jews had of garbage or refuse of any kind and what this means for God choosing to preserve his most ancient New Testament Word in a landfill. We also consider a man I once met who worked in a landfill and how ashamed he was of his work. Little did he know that he worked in the sort of place that has become beloved by archeologists and is a primary reason why future generations will have no choice to trust that the New Testament Word of God is real, not faked, not forged - and very dependable.
