Is there any other book that makes this claim? I know of none. Thanks for being first to give the very obvious reason why John (God’s agent) wrote “The Salvation Bringing Message of God.” Isn’t it interesting that there are more manuscript fragments of John’s book than any other? Also, John never went to Egypt, yet more fragments were found there than any place else.
It is interesting that while John tells us that our Lord Jesus did so much that all the books could not contain them, he chose these specific events to record so that we might believe in our Lord Jesus. It is worth asking why John chose each event or miracle to make his point.
Because Alexandria, Egypt was a thriving city with dozens of ancient monasteries and libraries. Many early Christians went there in the first few centuries AD and stored treasure troves of copies of the New Testament books. This was destroyed by the Roman emperor Diocletian during the terrible persecution of 300 AD, but fortunately many scholars had snuck New Testament books into hiding before the Romans burned them all. As a result, any manuscript pre-dating 300 is referred to as an "Alexandrian scripture."
John is indeed the most copied and also the earliest of all New Testament fragments...some have even been found as early as 90 AD (within 30 years of the original). Word didn't travel as fast in the ancient world as it does today so that copies had circulated as far as Egypt by that early is very strong support for historical Christianity...I find it incredulous that so many skeptics claim the gospels were written after 100 AD when all the evidence directly contradicts that.
