CSNTM aims to accomplish this in three ways: (1) Resourcing scholars and teachers with manuscripts, materials and tools, (2) Raising up a new generation of scholars and teaching a wider audience about the history of the New Testament text, and (3) Collaborating with other scholars and institutions engaged in the study and preservation of ancient Christian documents.
