DOCUMENTARY SYNOPSIS
Tares Among the Wheat is the sequel to A Lamp in the Dark.
In the 19th century, a revolution in biblical scholarship was prompted by the publication of a never-before-seen manuscript called Codex Sinaiticus. The work was allegedly “discovered” by a German scholar named Constantine von Tischendorf, who declared this to be the oldest Bible ever found. Tischendorf said he found the work in a rubbish basket at a Greek Orthodox monastery in Egypt. While many in the academic world did not fully believe his story, they were willing to accept his claims about the antiquity of the codex.
Yet shortly after his discovery was published, a renowned Greek paleographer named Constantine Simonides came forward and declared that the manuscript was no ancient text at all but had been created by him in 1840. The controversy surrounding these events is, perhaps, the most incredible untold chapter in Bible history. It involves Jesuits, the Pope, a high-minded German, a committee of Anglo Romanists, and a mysterious Greek patriot. It is a story that (while quite true and well documented) a vast majority of modern academics know nothing about. Yet the subject matter dramatically impacts the world of biblical scholarship, even to this present hour. Most of what today’s scholars believe about manuscript evidence is based on the events of this era, and the footnotes found in many modern Bibles are the proof of it.
Jesuit scholars develop critical arguments to destroy
the Protestant doctrine of Sola Scriptura.
Jesuit cardinals discuss their plan to “seize” control of the Bible in 1825.
Greek palaeographer Constantine Simonides, the man who
claimed to be the true author of Codex Sinaiticus.
German scholar Costantine von Tischendorf troubled at
the reports that his Codex Sinaiticus may be a fraud.
For more than a thousand years, the Vatican was involved in
creating forgeries and fakes to support papal doctrines.

“Brilliant DVD. I absolutely loved this sequel. The whole series is very well researched, beautifully presented and informative. It brings the history of the Bible to life and I cannot thank Adullam Films enough for this eye-opening DVD.”

“Required viewing for anyone who reads a bible today … I have now watched both films in the series and I wait with anticipation for the third one…. The exposure of the faulty logic, deception and omissions of the BBC documentary about the Codex Sinaiticus alone is worth the price of this documentary. I also thought it interesting how leading scholars admitted to dating manuscripts based on “instinct” rather than scientifically which in my opinion is no different than a guess…. Another interesting section in this documentary is the detailed discussion about all of the forgeries that Rome has foisted upon the world and how Codex Vaticanus which was earlier rejected by Erasmus, “suddenly” became relevant thanks to the “efforts” of the Jesuit Cardinal Angelo Mai. I cannot overstate the importance of this documentary if you are interested in bible history.”

“I have a degree in Bible but while in college we had to move pretty quick. For years I have been studying the bible and the Catholic church…. This is not a movie the Roman Catholic church will enjoy, but should evaluate. The history is given in bullet points, however it is plenary history…. It has refreshed my college work and added to it. You don’t have to be a scholar to recognize the quality of the work. The biggest chasm between Rome and bible believing Christians is this; What is the final authority, the scripture or the Pope.”

“Excellent and historically accurate movie. Absolutely excellent movie with thorough documentation throughout. I enjoyed this movie immensely and heartily recommend it. There is so much information in this movie that I have had to watch it multiple times to really digest it.”

“Outstanding! More history on the bible and the people that were killed for their love of God and His word. Much more on who and how certain people tried to stop God’s word altogether. Excellent second part to A Lamp in the Dark …”
