 WHAT DID JOHN WILLIAM BURGON REALLY BELIEVE ABOUT THE TEXTUS RECEPTUS ... [PRINTER VERSION]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
The "darling" of the KJV-only/TR-only advocates is 19th-century Anglican priest John William Burgon (1813-1888).
Burgon was a vigorous opponent of the English Revised Version of the New Testament (1881) and ceaselessly vilified the Greek text of Westcott and Hort.
In truth, those who appeal to Burgon as the final word on points of controversy are guilty of selective reading of Burgon, and very convenient ignoring of remarks contrary to their point of view.

 Westcott and the Bible   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Burgon, Anglican Churchman and Greek scholar, was a contemporary and vigorous opponent of Westcott and Hort.
Burgon differed with the Dean Burgon Society first in regard to the process which led to the creation of the Textus Receptus and the King James Bible, and secondly in regard to the alleged perfection of the TR and KJV.
John Burgon can deny the perfection of the TR and of the KJV, can deny that the Church has in her possession a perfect Bible, can point out numerous errors in the King James, and draw nary a word of criticism.

 Saudi Aramco World : Carving Their Names on the Walls of Time   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
The two-volume Life of John William Burgon, published in 1892, is a monument to a churchman, Bible scholar and dean of a cathedral, and it was written by another churchman, Bible scholar and dean of a cathedral.
Burgon's mother died in 1854, and he wore her wedding ring on his little finger ever afterwards: thus occasionally giving people to believe that he might be engaged to be married.
Burgon wrote, in a letter, that Petra was "the most astonishing and interesting place I ever visited, and may well stand alone." Burgon and his friends had their periods of anxiety as Edward Lear had four years earlier.

 The Textual Position of Dean John William Burgon   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
At the time of Dean Burgon's sudden death in 1888, no Textus Receptus was identical to the readings of the King James Bible, nor the Traditional or Byzantine Manuscript tradition.
Burgon's suggestion of 150 changes in the Gospel of Matthew may have included changes in the chapter and verse structure which was added to the Greek New Testament by Stephens.
Today, the Dean Burgon Society believes the Textus Receptus, as published by the Trinitarian Bible Society, which is Scrivener's Greek Text of 1894, is the embodiment of the Providentially preserved word of God in Greek.

 Far Eastern Bible College | The Woman Taken In Adultery (John 7:53-8:11)
John 7:53-8:11 is found (1) in many Greek uncials and minuscules mainly of the Majority or Byzantine text-type, (2) in the ancient versions or translations: Old Latin, Vulgate, Syriac, Coptic, Armenian, and Ethiopic, and (3) in the writings of the Church Fathers: Didascalia, Ambrosiaster, Apostolic Constitutions, Ambrose, Jerome, and Augustine.
It must be noted that if John 7:53-8:11 is removed from the Gospel, it leaves a vacuum between the words “out of Galilee ariseth no prophet (7:52), and “Then spake Jesus again unto them” (8:12).
Recommended reading: John William Burgon, “The Woman Taken in Adultery: A Defense of the Authenticity of St John 7:53-8:11,” in Unholy Hands on the Bible (Lafayette: Sovereign Grace Trust Fund, 1990), F1-16; and Edward F Hills, The King James Version Defended (Des Moines: The Christian Research Press, 1984), 150-9.

Through all of his works runs his fundamental thought: that the textual criticism of the NT must be according to the analogy of faith, and because of this it must be different from the textual criticism of any other book.
The importance of Patristic evidencein the consideration of the antiquity of a given passage is significant.As Dean Burgon points out, these men often comment upon, freely quote, and habitually refer to the words of inspiration, especially when defending doctrine from attack.
Burgon says, "As regards the precise formof language employed, it will be found also a salutary safeguard againsterror in every instance, to inspect with severe critical exactness theentire context of the passage in dispute.

In the latter half of the 1800s, Burgon defended the Bible as the infallible and inerrant Word of God, inspired to its very jots and tittles, and he fought a manly battle against the encroachment of theological modernism.
Burgon observed: "At the root of the whole mischief of these last days lies disbelief in the Bible as the Word of God.

 [minstrels] Petra -- John William Burgon
Burgon wrote it in 1845, before becoming a clergyman and disappearing into obscurity.
The city was built on a terrace, pierced from east to west by the Wadi Musa (the Valley of Moses)--one of the places where, according to tradition, the Israelite leader Moses struck a rock and water gushed forth.
The valley is enclosed by sandstone cliffs veined with shades of red and purple varying to pale yellow, and for this reason Petra was called by the 19th-century English biblical scholar John William Burgon a 'rose-red city half as old as Time'.

 Why Dean Burgon would NOT join "The Dean Burgon Society"
It is further interesting that Burgon said the "spurious clause" was "easily demonstrable," which proves that Burgon could "call for revision" in the TR without going through all the steps of revision he set up.
In other words, Burgon's view of the TR as "the most convenient standard of comparison" was no different than that of other critics who adopted the TR for collating manuscripts.
The latter part of John 8:6, "as though he heard them not," is found in Scrivener's TR and omitted in Lloyd's (and note that these words are in italics in some KJV printings and not italicized in others).

The booklet is entitled "Dean Burgon's Confidence in the King James Bible." This issue was raised in the book, The King James Only Controversy by James White.
White wrote as follows: "It is my opinion, many of the great scholars of the past who have defended the Byzantine textual tradition (that includes the Textus Receptus) cannot honestly be included in the KJV camp even though they are often cited as if they were.
Men like Dean Burgon, F.H.A. Scrivener, H.G. Hoskier all of whom were true scholars of the first rank were not KJV only advocates.
