Causes of Corruption of the New Testament Text Book

The Causes of the Corruption of the Traditional Text of the Gospels is reproduced from Dean John W. Burgon's book, The Traditional Text of the Gospels.

You will even learn that six of the Greek words of this doxology appear exactly in the Apostle's Paul's heavenly doxology in 2 Timothy 4:18. Then an even more satisfying discovery may be made of why and how the modern versions make a mess of the Lord's Prayer in Luke. See pages 40-42. 7.
