I can imagine, I can also hear it in your voice, Gabriel, how rewarding a project it is for you and how important it is as well. So I'm very glad we could mention that before we wrap up.

The early Christian texts were already circulating, like the Gospel of Mark, which is dated around 70 and even older, around many of the letters of Paul.
