The Odyssey?

Everyone's talking about how close to the original story is Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey. A Black Helen of Troy! E. Page's male character! Massive speculation under the name of artistic license. It's all being discussed.

Did you know there are less than 100 ancient manuscript fragments of Homer's Odyssey in existence. There's not one complete ancient copy of the text. Not one. The attached image is one of the oldest manuscript fragments available (Papyrus Bodmer 3, 𝔓66 of the Odyssey), and it is from the second century... about 800-900 years after Homer wrote the book.

Do you trust the story to be true [to Homer's original]? Do you trust that Homer wrote it? Did Homer exist? Does our society trust the story? Of course they do ,and the evidence is in the discussion around the film.

In contrast to Homer's 100 or so fragments, the New Testament has literally thousands and thousands of manuscripts, fragments, codices, etc. that stand as a testimony of the truthfulness and reliability of the New Testament.

The average college student is told to question whether Jesus existed, what he said if he did exist, whether the New Testament is reliable, and a host of other presuppositions of unbelief.

Within the same ancient timeframe of Homer's 100 fragments, we have thousands of witnesses to the reliability of the New Testament: over 5000 New Testament manuscripts, thousands more of fragments (papyri, uncials, etc), and tens of thousands of references in antiquity to passages of the New Testament.

You question the New Testament and its reliability but you have an opinion either way on a Black Helen of Troy? You care more about the face that launched a thousand ships than you do a book that overturned the world, defeated the Roman Empire, and changed human history?

The New Testament is reliable as God has preserved his Word. The message of the New Testament is clear: Jesus Christ is King and you must repent of your sins and bow to him.
