About This Book

A detailed apologetic and philological defense arguing that the final twelve verses of the Gospel of Mark are genuine. The author sets out the case, surveys critical objections, and reviews patristic citations, ancient versions, manuscript evidence, scholia, and lectionary practice; he examines internal linguistic and thematic features and offers explanations for their omission in certain codices. The book reproduces facsimiles, presents appendices of supporting material, and concludes with a systematic summary asserting that the cumulative external and internal evidence establishes the verses' authenticity.
