Unlock the full philology behind baptizein and its use in early Christian practice.
This study compiles two hundred and thirty-six authenticated examples of the Greek verb baptizo, tracing their sources in ancient writers and church authorities. It presents the material in a simple, literal translation first, then the original text, so readers can follow the evidence closely. Designed for both scholars and general readers, the book aims to illuminate the whole scholarly discussion with clear, accessible language.
The Appendix and accompanying notes organize a vast body of sources—from classical to patristic writings—into a coherent argument about the word’s meaning and its use in baptism. The result is a thorough, nonsectarian, philological treatment that foregrounds evidence and analysis over speculation.
Ideal for readers seeking a careful, evidence-based look at baptism terminology and its historical interpretation.
