"A Textual and
Structural Analysis of Mark 16:9-20," Matthew D. McDill, Filologia,
2004.
 | "The purpose of this study is to address two
questions: 1) Should Mark 16:9-20 be included in biblical exegesis and
2) If so, what are the structural features of this passage that might
aid in its interpretation?" |
|
 |
"The Authenticity of Mark
16:9-20," Jim Snapp II, Minister, Curtisville Christian Church, IN.
 | "I believe that the
empirical evidence supports the view that the Long Ending was contained in
the Gospel of Mark in the form in which it was first produced for
distribution in the church, and that it was accepted as Scripture
everywhere except in one Egyptian locale (probably Alexandria), where -
due to an accident or a copyist's misinterpretation - it was temporarily
lost." |
|
 | "Rethinking
the Great Commission," Mortimer Arias,
Iliff School of Theology, Theology Today, 1991.
 | "It is to our churches, and to
us as we are, that the Great Commission is entrusted today. It is up
to us to receive it and be faithful to it. We count with the promise
of the last mandate: "I am with you always, to the end of the
age."" |
