What can you tell me about the original scriptures?

Answer by  djb228 (510)

The original Hebrew scriptures (Old Testament) were first passed down in an oral tradition and later written on parchment scrolls which were copied by hand as they are today. The Gospels combine oral sources, each for a particular audience. The letters of Paul, Peter, and John were written in the first century. The New Testament was written in Greek.

What scriptures depends on what religion. The Jewish Torah constitutes what became the Old Testament of the Christian Bible, and those are written in Hebrew and proven from the Dead Sea Scrolls to have been unchanged for 3000 years. The oldest New Testament sections are known to be about 1900 years old.
