Most Bible studies will not involve one of the most significant issues of the times, which has to do with modern Bible translations. This issue of course cannot effect one’s salvation, but will effect one’s spiritual growth, not receiving all of God’s Word and being exposed to misleading information.
The majority of those who copied scriptural manuscripts (scribes) discarded a small amount of manuscripts that did not agree with the majority of extant copies. Two sources that were rejected for copying were the codex Vaticanus and the codex Sinaiticus. The codex Alexandrinus is included but is excessively missing much of the OT and NT, along with much decadence of page condition, torn leaves and lacunae on the edges of almost every page of Revelation.
These oldest manuscript copies just recently became available (19th century) for making translations. The Vaticanus was discovered in the Vatican library and remained perdu for fifteen centuries, until it was discovered on a shelf. The Sinaiticus was discovered at St. Catherine's Monastery at the foot of Mount Sinai in Egypt. A monk was burning some of the leaves (probably to keep warm) when Constantine von Tischendorf, a German biblical scholar, located portions of the manuscript there. He first found some leaves in a waste basket during his initial visit in 1844. A larger portion of the manuscript was discovered during his subsequent visit in 1859.
The recently found manuscript copies did not wear out like the majority of extant copies because they fell into disuse due to the fact that most of the scribes would not use them for copying purposes.
