The meaning and use of baptizein, philologically and historically investigated for the American Bible Union is an unchanged, high-quality reprint of the original edition of 1864. Hansebooks is editor of the literature on different topic areas such as research and science, travel and expeditions, cooking and nutrition, medicine, and other genres. As a publisher we focus on the preservation of historical literature. Many works of historical writers and scientists are available today as antiques only. Hansebooks newly publishes these books and contributes to the preservation of literature which has become rare and historical knowledge for the future.

The meaning of the Greek word 'baptizein' has been so obscured, by the denominational controversies which have sprung up within the last two centuries, that nothing less than a complete historical exhibition of its use, both in pagan and Christian Greek literature, would suffice to place the matter in a clear light. --from the Preface T. J. Conant (1802-1891) is also the author of 'Greek Text of the Apocalypse, ' a book of Hebrew grammar exercises, and commentaries on Mark and Luke.
