INTRODUCTION The authority of the Scripture is fundamental to evangelical faith and witness. But at the same time, not all evangelicals affirm the inerrancy of the scripture. Biblical inerrancy affirms that the biblical text is accurate and totally free from error of any kind. The difficulty in affirming the inerrancy of scripture does not seem to be so much on the spiritual and moral teachings of the Bible, however, the difficulty perhaps seems to emerge on the issue of accuracy in other disciplines such as history, science and acheology.

The three approaches discussed are allegorical, literal, and semiallegorical (Ryrie, 1999, p. 125-126). An individual who uses the allegorical approach uses symbols instead of the actual words in the Bible to interpret its meaning; whereas one who takes the literal approach to interpreting the Bible does so by reading the exact words used. In the middle of the spectrum is the semiallegorical approach. An individual who uses this approach uses symbolism and literalism in order to interpret and understand the Bible’s message. There are rational reasons as to why an individual takes a literal, grammatical, or historical hermeneutic to interpret the Bible.

One of the most controversial topics involving the bible is the ending of the Gospel of Mark. This is a topic that majority of scholars do not agree on and hold a strong opinion on. “…that such a pivotal work as Mark should end so suddenly, so unexpectedly, has been called the “greatest of all literary mysteries”…” The verses starting at Mark 16:9 are where the controversy begins. Many scholars believe that the Gospel ended at verse 8 and that verses 9- 20 were later added on where other scholars believe that the ending is a true ending provided by Mark. This paper will demonstrate that the Gospel of Mark ends with the short ending at verse 8.

“The New Testament contains several different genres (categories) of literature, although it has considerably less variety than the Hebrew Bible. Early Christians editors arranged the contents not in chronological order according to dates of compositions, but according to the documents’ literary classification, beginning with the Gospels and ending with the Book of Revelation” (Harris, 2014). Gospels - the first literary form consists of the first four books of the New Testaments which is Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The Gospels are also considered as the “good news” and given the account of the birth of Jesus, His ministry, death and resurrection.

The author is believed to be Luke (Colossians 4:14; 2 Timothy 4:11; Philemon 1:24), who was Paul’s physician (aka. The Beloved Physician). Luke grew up as a gentile then converted to Christianity (although he never met Jesus in person), most likely when Paul converted to Christianity. He was a well educated Greek "historian" and a possible client of Theophilus (1:1-4).

Christians who want to grow spiritually believe that by reading the Bible a person can understand the purpose to their life and how to successfully live their life. There are scriptures in the Bible that emphasize the importance of studying God’s Word. Joshua 1:8 says “to meditate (study) in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.” To read and study the Bible is to learn and understand about God.
