Tentang Penulis
John William Burgon (1813-1888) was an influential Anglican divine, Dean of Chichester, and a staunch defender of traditional biblical texts against the emerging textual criticism of the 19th century. With a profound commitment to the inerrancy of Scripture, Burgon is best known for his scholarly works that vehemently opposed the revisions proposed by Brooke Foss Westcott and Fenton John Anthony Hort. His ‘The Last Twelve Verses of the Gospel According to S. Mark: Vindicated Against Recent Critical Objectors and Established’ is a seminal work that exemplifies his dedication to upholding the integrity of the Bible. In this meticulous study, Burgon provides detailed arguments in defense of the authenticity of Mark 16:9-20, which had come under question by contemporary scholars of his time. His literary style is marked by thorough research, use of extensive manuscript evidence, and a passionate, albeit polemical, defense of traditional biblical canon. Although his views were contentious, they continue to be influential among traditionalists and provide important historical perspective on the controversies surrounding biblical textual criticism.
