Bible Hunters - 1. The Search for Bible Truth | BBC.HD.ZigCOM

From The Guardian:

Archaeologist and historian Dr Jeff Rose guided us through the story of how the notion of the Bible as the absolute and literal word of God, handed unchanging down the ages, was challenged by and eventually disintegrated under the weight of new manuscripts found and discoveries made by various intrepid explorers to Egypt, where the combination of dry desert air and the world's oldest monasteries had combined to provide a vellum'n'papyral (and if that's not a word, it should be and it is now) treasure trove for questing biblical scholars.
