Synopsis

This detailed, scholarly treatise by the author examines the history and usage of the ancient Greek word baptisma, used in the New Testament to refer to the rite of Christian baptism. The author argues, through historical and linguistic research, that the term has a specific, clearly defined meaning, signifying the act of immersion, and this meaning should not be altered in modern translations. The book delves into the misuse and redefinition of the term over time, and offers a compelling argument for the preservation of the original meaning of the word. By restoring the original meaning, the significance of the act of baptism is better understood and preserved, leading to a deeper appreciation of its importance in Christian tradition.
