Fatal error: Call to undefined function isLitsy() in /var/www/html/inc_magicDB.php on line 425- Burgon's claim to fame, among the non-theological at any rate, is his Newdigate Prize poem Petra. The long poem, in rhymed couplets, is rarely read but lives because of the oft-quoted last two lines -
Match me such marvel save in Eastern clime,
a rose-red city half as old as time.
Despite his Middle-Eastern birth, Burgon had never seen Petra.
The poem was parodied by Peter Sellers in his Balham sketch, ending "a Rose-red city half as Golders Green."

The Revision Revised por John William Burgon
This book is must read for those seeking to understand the error Wescott & Hort Theory of textual criticism which is the theory used for most modern day new testament translations of the bible.
Classic Scholarship of "The Dean of Chichester"
Burgon, John William, The Revision Revised (Paradise, PA: Conservative Classics, 1978). 10125
"This book is the most complete and detailed attack on the Minority Text of Westcott-Hort in print. Burgon established by disputed passages the subjective method of the revisers. This book is a treasure house of arguments against liberal attacks upon the Word of God." -- GCB
