The Causes of Corruption
Have you ever wondered why there are so many differences between the New Testament
Greek text used by the King James Bible and the Westcott and Hort kind of Greek texts used
by the modern versions and perversions? The Wescott and Hort text differs from the
traditional received text in 5,604 places, involving 9,970 Greek words. Why the
Difference?
In this book, Dean Burgon illustrates five accidental causes and ten intentional causes
behind the corruption of the traditional received Greek text. This corruption was chiefly
at the hands of the editors of a small band of manuscripts headed up by the Vatican Sinai
("B" and "Aleph").
The Causes of Corruption of the Holy Gospels is a sequel to the Traditional Text. It is
another of Dean John William Burgon's Masterpieces. It is loaded, as are all of his books,
with overwhelming evidence from manuscripts, lectionaries, ancient versions, and church
fathers. His arguments are powerful and convincing!
You will want to order several copies of this book and distribute it widely! Order a
copy for your pastor, your church library, your missionaries, you favorite schools, and
your friends!
The text of this Burgon Reprint is based on a complete photographic reproduction of
Burgon's (posthumously published) 1896 Causes of Corruption of the Traditional Text of the
Holy Gospels. The publisher has post-scripted Burgon's work with a thirty-one paged
"Brief Summary of The Causes of Corruption of the Traditional Text" written by
D. A. Waite, Th.D, Ph.D. (#DB1160)
