Synopsis

In the 19th century, Dr. James W. Dale, a Presbyterian minister, embarked on a scholarly project that proved to be the most exhaustive study ever undertaken on the word 'baptism'. Aiming at a contextual understanding of the work, Dr. Dale meticulously examined its use in a wide range of historical documents, and his analysis is a masterpiece of lexicographical scholarship.

Dr. Dale published his findings in four volumes, and for the first time in many years all four of these distinguished texts are available, offering a valuable resource for students and scholars of language, religion, and history.

Review:

"In terms of comprehensiveness as well as irenic temper in discussion, Dale's work is a model of thorough and patient research. Both the church historian and lexicographer will be grateful for this scholarly work. Dr. Countess is to be commended for overseeing the reprinting of this classic investigation concerning the usage of the Greek word meaning 'baptize.'" --Bruce M. Metzger, Professor of New Testament, Emeritus Princeton Theological Seminary

"Serious Bible students welcome the reprint of Dr. Dale's five volumes on baptism. This third volume will give contemporary New Testament scholars new and fertile ground for soil turning and cultivating. A careful, open-minded study, Johannic Baptism will inform and enlighten all readers." --Arvid K. McGuire, M.A., Minister Church of Christ, Huntsville, Alabama

"The republication of Dale's series of studies on baptism, first issued about 120 years ago, reveals the status of discussion at that time but also makes available to the student a collection of data otherwise extremely hard to come by." --Jack P. Lewis, Professor of Bible, Emeritus Harding Graduate School of Religion, Memphis, Tennessee
