In October, 2024, Robert's book Codex Sinaiticus Arabicus and Its Family: A Bayesian Approach was published by Brill.
Arabic versions of the New Testament have been overlooked for too long. The Sinai New Finds of 1975 unearthed Codex Sinaiticus Arabicus which preserves an Arabic translation of the Gospels differing markedly from the Majority Text. Here Robert Turnbull undertakes a wide-ranging study of this version, discovering many lectionary manuscripts with the same text. Several open-access datasets are made available. Bayesian phylogenetics and other computational techniques are used to draw insights into the transmission history of this version and its place in the wider New Testament textual tradition. This Arabic version will be indispensable in future textual scholarship on the Gospels.See Less

Robert has developed his own business in designing software for iOS and Android and has several apps available for download in four program suites: Bible Vocab, Vocab Pro, Mesha, and Film Note. These apps have been downloaded more than 140,000 times. Bible Vocab is widely regarded as one of the premier biblical language apps available.
Professor Robert Plummer (Southern Baptist Theological Seminary) has said: ‘Who could imagine that a Greek New Testament vocabulary app with this much power and flexibility even existed? I’m amazed at the intuitive design and ability to customize vocabulary acquisition to particular sections of text. I’m confident that this vocabulary app will help thousands of pastors and students read the Greek New Testament with greater fluency, confidence, and understanding. I enthusiastically endorse it.’
He is currently developing other applications for learning the vocabulary from the Quran, the Peshitta, and the Van Dyck Arabic Bible.
