The Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts (CSNTM),
pursues the great and noble task of preserving
the New Testament text and manuscripts,
and tracing its history through the ages.
We fulfill our mission in three primary ways:
Resourcing
Providing manuscripts, materials, and tools to scholars and teachers, using emerging technologies.
Educating
Raising up new generations of scholars and teaching a wider audience about the history of the New Testament text.
Collaborating
Working alongside other institutions and likeminded scholars engaged in the study and preservation of ancient Christian documents.
HISTORY
SEPTEMBER 2002 – PRESENT
On September 13, 2002, Dr. Daniel B. Wallace founded the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts (CSNTM) to utilize emerging technologies to preserve and study Greek New Testament manuscripts. Since then, CSNTM has collaborated with more than forty institutes on four continents to produce hundreds of thousands of images of New Testament manuscripts. Along with digitally preserving these treasured documents, CSNTM has made many of them widely available for viewing and study online. CSNTM has discovered dozens of New Testament manuscripts. View these images at CSNTM’s digital manuscript collection. In recent years, CSNTM expanded operations to include digitizing documents and artifacts important to the history, transmission, and study of the Greek New Testament. Along with the growing set of digitized resources, the Center seeks to expand the in-house library and host scholarly gatherings to continue the work of preserving and understanding the text and history of the New Testament.
