The Last Twelve Verses of Mark
This present book is filled with dynamite in its impact! Dean John William Burgon has
amassed overwhelming evidence from manuscripts, lectionaries, ancient versions, and church
fathers proving the genuineness of the last twelve verses of Mark!
In the 350 pages of this book, Dean Burgon has proved that Mark 16:9-20 (the last
twelve verses of Mark), is a genuine part of Mark's Gospel about which we should have no
doubts whatsoever! A thorough grasp of Burgon's methodology of textual criticism such as
is exhibited in these pages will convince the honest reader to reject the false
conclusions regarding these twelve verses (and other verses as well) which have been
accepted by the NASV, the NIV, the RSV, the NRSV, the NEB, TEV, CEV, and the other modern
versions!
If indeed, as Dean Burgon shows clearly, "B" (Vaticanus) and
"Aleph" (Sinaiticus) are in serious error here, they can not be trusted
elsewhere either! The manuscripts, the lectionaries, the ancient versions, and the
quotations from the church fathers all unite to show that Mark 16:9-20 was in Mark's
Gospel from the very beginning!
The text of this Burgon Reprint is based on a complete photographic reproduction of
Burgon's 1871 Last Twelve Verses of Mark. The reprint publisher has post-scripted Burgon's
work with a Thirty-four paged summary--"Dean John William Burgon's Vindication of the
Last Twelve Verses of Mark" written by D. A. Waite, Th.D, Ph.D. (#DB1139)
