The Last Twelve Verses of the Gospel According to S. Mark by John William Burgon
"The Last Twelve Verses of the Gospel According to S. Mark" by John William Burgon is a scholarly work written in the late 19th century. The text serves as a defense of the authenticity and genuineness of the last twelve verses of the Gospel of Mark against contemporary critical objections suggesting that these verses were not part of the original manuscript. The author elaborates on textual criticism, providing detailed examination of manuscripts,early church fathers' testimonies, and internal evidence to support his claims. At the start of the book, Burgon sets the stage for a rigorous analysis of the historical and textual context surrounding the disputed verses. He acknowledges the prevailing view that these verses are untrustworthy and posits that such beliefs are based on misunderstandings and misinterpretations of the evidence. The author discusses the significance of textual criticism for understanding the New Testament and outlines his intention to challenge the notion that the twelve verses in question are spurious. Through his dedication and preface, Burgon indicates that he seeks not only to refute the criticisms but to establish a foundation for the verses' inclusion as an essential part of the Gospel.
