The Vatican has allegedly issued an official request toexamine a
1,500-year-old Bible that has been held in Turkey for the past 12
years, the Hurriyet Daily News reports.
IN THIS BIBLE, JESUS IS SAID TO HAVE PREDICTED THE COMING OF THE
PROPHET MUHAMMED.
The Bible reportedly contains early teachings of Jesus Christ and is
written in gold lettering on animal hide in Syriac, a dialect of
Aramaic, which was the native tongue of Jesus.
According to a report by National Turk, the Bible was seized from a
gang of smugglers in a Mediterranean-a rea operation. The report
states the gang was charged with smuggling antiquities, illegal
excavations, and the possession of explosives.
Today's Zaman reports thatthe Bible is under high security and that a
Turkish daily newspaper, the Star, claims the book could be a copy of
the Gospel of Barnabas -- a controversial text which Muslims claim
isan addition to theoriginal gospels -- Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John
-- that was suppressed.
