Sir Frederic G. Kenyon, director and principal librarian of the British Museum:
“The interval between the dates of original composition and
the earliest existing evidence becomes so small as to be in
fact negligible. The last foundation for any doubt that the
Scriptures have come down to us substantially as they were
written has now been removed. Both the authenticity and the
general integrity of the books of the New Testament may be
regarded as finally established.”
