THIS MIGHT SURPRISE YOU

Codex Sinaiticus, the great fourth-century Bible, doesn't end at Revelation. What comes after it?

The answer

After Revelation, Sinaiticus binds in the Epistle of Barnabas and the Shepherd of Hermas — two widely read early Christian works that later canon lists left out. Whoever produced this fourth-century Bible bound them in with scripture, whatever status they meant that to signal.

Why it’s interesting

It's a physical snapshot of a canon still settling: in the fourth century a book could be bound into a Bible and still fall outside the lists. Eusebius, writing in the same era, placed both among the books the churches set aside.
