If you like Koine Greek...you'll love this!

I am not sure how many PBTS/PBC/Davis Alumni took Biblical Greek, but even if you didn't this is very cool for any Christian.
The Codex Sinaiticus is the oldest complete copy of the Greek New Testament and most of the Septuagint (Greek Old Testament). To help preserve it, it is being uploaded online.

Codex Sinaiticus, a manuscript of the Christian Bible written in the middle of the fourth century, contains the earliest complete copy of the Christian New Testament. The hand-written text is in Greek.

The entire copy has been split between different museums in the world and it will be reunited online.

Check out the website and remember the rich heritage of the Greek New Testament and Septuagint has had as it has come down through the ages.
