The "Papyrus of the New Testament" refers to ancient manuscripts that contain texts from the New Testament of the Christian Bible. These papyri are significant for biblical scholarship as they provide insights into the early transmission and variations of the New Testament writings. They date from the second to the fourth centuries and are among the earliest evidence of Christian texts. Notable examples include the Chester Beatty Papyri and the Bodmer Papyri, which contain portions of the Gospels and other New Testament writings. These manuscripts help scholars understand the historical context and development of early Christianity, as well as the textual history of the New Testament.
