The work on this part of the CD started about nine years ago as part of the Coptic Bible project hat the Society has engaged in since late 1970s'. Its purpose has been to make the Holy Scriptures, the backbone of the Coptic Church, available to Copts as well as scholars in a format that is suitable for devotion or study of the Word of God. Even though the project started with the Old Testament texts, the New Testament was easier to produce in the desired format because of the efforts of others within the past century. The addition of a manuscript variant readings list in the future will greatly enhance the study value of these texts among the scholars and accord the Coptic Version its appropriate place among other ancient versions of the Bible.
