Description

"In 1844, academic and fundamentalist Christian Constantin Tischendorf, who was driven by his obsession with the origins of the Bible to a remote monastery in the middle of the Sinai Desert, discovered the manuscript in a basket said to have been discarded by the monks ... Part travelogue, part historical study and part critique, The Bible hunter tells of the author's trip to Sinai, the history of the Bible and early Church and the lives and liturgies of the monks of St. Catherine's Monastery"--Jacket flap.
