RECENTLY DISCOVERED SAYINGS OF JESUS

From the February 1904 issue of The Christian Science Journal


THE following carefully prepared article on the work of Doctors Grenfell and Hunt in Egypt is copied from The Chicago Tribune of January 17. This will be of interest to our readers as it contains much information in addition to that given in a recent article in the Sentinel.

The papyri found in the buried ruins of Oxyrhynchus last summer, and discovered to be a collection of the unreported sayings of Jesus, have been deciphered after months of painstaking effort by the experts of the Egypt Exploration Fund.

These writings were found in a mound in Egypt, one hundred and twenty miles south of Cairo. How came they there? When were they written? How were they preserved through nearly twenty centuries, to be finally discovered and given to the world?
