Landlords' Rights & Duties in California was an excellent beginners guide to being a landlord. It includes samples of easy to use forms that cover all the basics as well as recommendations of when and when not to get a lawyer involved. I found the reference section that included applicable California Civil Code helpful as well. A quick read but loaded with useful tools, Landlord's Rights & Duties in California is what every beginning landlord needs in their library.

This edition is a reprint of Burgon's "The Last Twelve Verses of the Gospel According to S. Mark: Vindicated Against Recent Critical Objections and Established," originally published in 1871. At that time, John Burgon was Anglican vicar of St. Mary-the-Virgin's Church, Fellow of Oriel College at the University of Oxford, and Gresham Lecturer in Divinity.

The last twelve verses of Mark's Gospel (Mark 16:9-20) remain one of the largest, if not THE largest, consecutive group of allegedly spurious verses in the Bible. In this work, Burgon settles the question once and for all.

Originally intended for biblical scholars, this book will prove quite difficult for the average reader, because of its highly academic writing style of the period and because of its numerous footnotes and other passages that quote ancient sources in the original Greek and Latin without English translation. Yet, the depth of Burgon's textual criticism and research will stagger the honest reader. Beginning with external evidence, he examines hundreds of cursive and uncial Greek manuscripts which date at least from the fourth century, ten early Bible versions which date from the second to the sixth centuries, the individual writings of 19 early Church Fathers from all over the then-known world who wrote between the early second to the mid sixth centuries, and all known copies of the venerable Lectionary of the East. Then he turns to the internal evidence, or the writing style of St. Mark himself, and compares the verses in question to Mark's remaining Gospel, with particular attention given to the parallelism found in the first twelve verses of chapter 1.

With the exception of two manuscripts, not only do all of the other sources above contain or make reference to Mark 16:9-20, Burgon shows that these same verses match Mark's writing style to boot. Moreover, certain Church Fathers, who by tradition were considered hostile to Mark 16:9-20, namely Gregory of Nysa, Eusebius, Jerome, Severus of Antioch, Hesychius of Jerusalem, Victor of Antioch, and Euthymius Zigabenus, are proven instead to be favorable. To Burgon, this overwhelming wealth of evidence proves that these verses are genuine. The honest reader must surely agree.

The two manuscripts which completely lack Mark 16:9-20 are the infamous Codex B (Vaticanus) and Codex Aleph (Sinaiticus). Dating from the fourth century, they are the two oldest copies of the Gospels extant, which, in part, probably influenced Burgon's liberal contemporaries to reject these verses as genuine. Yet Burgon clearly shows that these two manuscripts are monstrously flawed throughout. Discrepancies are so numerous that he remarks, "It is easier to find two consecutive verses in which the two MSS. [manuscripts] differ, the one from the other, than two consecutive verses in which they entirely agree." Thus, neither of these two manuscripts are reliable sources for any of the Gospels, and they seriously impact on modern Bible translations (see below).

Also included in this edition is a helpful 36-page summary with commentary by Rev. D.A. Waite, president of The Dean Burgon Society. He reminds us that, despite Burgon's research, most modern Bible translations today (NKJV, NASV, NIV, RSV, NRSV, NEV, TEV, CEV, and others) continue to regard Mark 16:9-20 and other passages as spurious. The reason lies in the fact that liberal scholars, who in many places actually doubt the Word of God, have chosen to base most modern NT translations primarily on those two flawed manuscripts, Codex B and Codex Aleph. Westcott and Hort's Revised Greek Text of 1881 is a prime example, which alters the Greek New Testament (Traditional Greek Text or Textus Receptus) over 5,600 times.

Modern translations place allegedly spurious passages in brackets, reduce them to footnotes, or eliminate them altogether. In so doing, these modern translations can do much to dissuade people from belief in the inerrancy and infallibility of Scripture. Thanks to the work of Christian scholars like Dean John W. Burgon, however, discerning Christians will reject those modern translations that promote such error.

I eventually bought this book because none of the libraries in my area had it! Marvin Pope was one of the big figures in Northwest Semitic studies a generation back. His ground breaking work in Song of Songs as well as his theories concerning the cult of the dead in the Levant provide the background for the title of this collection of essays. The list of contributors to this feschrift reads like a whose-who in ANE. Contributors incluse M. Dahood, W. Hallo, B. Foster, C. Gordon, R. Murphy, D. Pardee, and S. Parker just to mention a few. There are 35 articles in all. While the articles are a bit dated -- especially those involving the cult of the dead -- this is still an important work that will provide the student of the ANE with hours of fascinating reading.

John Charles Ryle was a rare man - an evangelical Bishop of the Church of England in England in the last half of the 19th Century. Disrali made him Bishop of Liverpool as a last act of defiance as British Prime Minister.

Ryle was an amazing man whose many books are continually being republished for the next generation. His Expository Thoughts on the Gospels are all the work of a first rate mind - a man who communicates that which he loves so well - Jesus Christ. Of all his writings his passion for Jesus burns most brightly through these Expository Thoughts on the Gospels. Mark's Gospel is no exception. Originally bundled together with Matthew's in Ryle's writings, this recent publication takes the relevent parts for this short Gospel.

Buy his one, then buy the rest.

THIS BOOK WAS AMAZING, PACKED WITH DRAMA, AND SUSPENSE, AND COMEDY. EVERYTHING THE 1999 ACADEMY AWARDS DIDN'T HAVE

I was attracted to this book in the library by the title. Not knowing what to expect I began reading it to my children. You may want to read it first before reading it to your children as I was a little startled by the frankness of the author regarding the shunning of Ameraisain children in their native culture. It is a very touching story of a Korean/ American boy who is abandoned by his mother because she is unable to raise him any more. It is the story of his fending for himself and the other boys he meets. A great gift for anyone adopting a child from another country.

Just want to know if this book has a detailed repair and maintenace about automatic transmission. On how to replace a automatic transmission on Mazda MPV 1992.
