From the hidden desert monasteries of Sinai to the silent halls of the Vatican and the scholarly libraries of Alexandria, this historically rich narrative reveals the remarkable story of the earliest surviving biblical manuscripts.

Perfect for history enthusiasts, biblical scholars, and anyone fascinated by the preservation of ancient texts, When the Word Was Found uncovers the dramatic journey of the Word across centuries - and the human devotion that ensured it endured.
