Synopsis

""The Causes of the Corruption of the Traditional Text of the Holy Gospels"" is a book written by John William Burgon, first published in 1896. It is a sequel to his earlier work titled ""The Traditional Text of the Holy Gospels"", and focuses on the reasons behind the corruption of the original text of the Gospels. Burgon argues that the traditional text of the Gospels has been tampered with over time, resulting in numerous errors and discrepancies. He identifies several causes of this corruption, including the use of faulty manuscripts, the influence of heretical sects, and the carelessness of scribes. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of the corruption of the Gospels. Burgon provides detailed analysis of various textual variants, and offers his own theories on how they came to be. He also discusses the history of the transmission of the Gospels, and the role of the early Church in preserving and transmitting the text. Overall, ""The Causes of the Corruption of the Traditional Text of the Holy Gospels"" is a thorough and scholarly examination of the textual history of the Gospels. It is an important work for anyone interested in the history of the Christian Church, and the origins of the New Testament.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
