The Dean Burgon Society is an organization that promotes and defends the King James Bible and the underlying Hebrew and Greek manuscripts. It should not be confused with the academic Burgon Society. They are separate organizations. The Dean Burgon Society is an organization which promotes the so-called King James Only position through publications and seminars, although D. A. Waite, the current head of the society, has claimed that "King James Only" is a slanderous term. They make extensive amounts of information available online, as well as selling printed material. The society is named after Dean Burgon, who made a strong stand in support for the so-called traditional text. He was also a major critic of Westcott and Hort, and the Revised Version of the Bible. Although in his writings one can find many critical notes about ''Textus Receptus'', e.g. "Traditional Text not identical with the Received Text".〔Burgon, John, ''The traditional text of the Holy Gospels vindicated and established'', 1896, pp. 11–2.〕 Burgon rejected ''Textus Receptus'' in Acts 8:37, the Comma Johanneum, the last six verses of Apocalypse, he suggested 150 corrections in the ''Textus Receptus'' Gospel of Matthew alone.〔Burgon, John, ''The Revised Revision'', 1883, p. 242.〕 Burgon in his ''Revision Revised'' several times declares that the ''Textus Receptus'' needs correction.〔Burgon, John, ''The Revised Revision'', 1883, p. 548.〕 According to Daniel B. Wallace, Burgon's views would disqualify him from membership in the society named after him, since that society staunchly defends the ''Textus Receptus''.〔Wallace, Daniel B. ("The Majority Text Theory: History, Methods, and Critique" ), ''Studies and Documents'', vol. 46, Wm. Eerdmans 1995, p. 299.〕 D. A. Waite has responded to these claims,〔(''The Dean Burgon Society Deserves Its Name TEN REASONS WHY'' ) by D. A. Waite〕 although does not specifically address issues including but not limited to the Comma, or the phrase 'raise the dead' in Matthew 10:8, which Burgon explicitly rejected〔Burgon, John. (''The Revised Revision'' ), 1883, pp. 107–8〕 but which appears in the ''Textus Receptus'', the ''King James'', and virtually all other critical texts and derivative translations. ==See also== *Bible version debate *Trinitarian Bible Society 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dean Burgon Society」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
