"The Last Twelve Verses of the Gospel According to S. Mark" by John William Burgon is a defense of the final section of the Gospel of Mark, arguing for its rightful place in scripture amid rising doubts. Burgon dives into the historical documents, sharing examinations of old writings and the words of early church leaders, building a case that the verses are real and valid. Burgon starts by addressing the skeptical views of the time, suggesting they come from errors in understanding the evidence itself. He highlights the importance of carefully studying the written texts to properly understand the New Testament, setting the stage for his mission to prove the verses' authenticity and their crucial role in the Gospel. Burgon's commitment shines through as he aims not just to tear down the arguments against the verses, but to firmly support their inclusion as a vital piece of the Gospel.
