Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book examines Christian baptism from a strictly scriptural perspective, contending that all water baptisms are purifications. The author carefully considers nearly every passage in the New Testament in which the words 'baptize' or 'baptism' occur, and a number of passages from the Old Testament which are referred to in the New. In addition to examining relevant passages, the author provides a history of Hellenistic Greek, the language in which the New Testament was written, as well as an overview of Old Testament laws of purification, examining the meaning of words like 'purify' and 'cleanse' as they were understood then. This book contends that the word 'baptize' was used as a religious term to denote purification in general, rather than a specific mode of purification like immersion. As a result, the specific mode of any given baptism is determined by the context within which it is practiced and the purpose of that baptism. This in-depth exploration of the nuances of relevant words in their original languages, combined with careful consideration of the historical context in which the New Testament was written makes this book a valuable resource for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the significance of baptism in Christian practice.
