Recently, Christian apologist Wesley Huff released a video arguing that Mark 16:9–20, a passage often referred to as “the Longer Ending of Mark,” is not authentic Scripture. Sadly, many textual critical scholars today have come to the same conclusion. But Dr. Warren Gage believes the exact opposite is true. In this two-part series, he makes a compelling case for the authenticity of the Longer Ending of Mark, arguing that a careful literary analysis affirms its rightful place in the biblical canon. For the second lesson, Dr. Gage explains how a literary pattern called “chiasm” proves the Longer Ending of Mark must be authentic.
