In defining baptizo the American edition does not differ essentially from the
English.
Prof. M.L. Dooges, Professor of Greek in Michigan State University, answers
the question:
“Does any Greek Lexicon, which is a standard with scholars, define baptizo
by sprinkle, pour, or any word meaning allusion?” “None.”
Prof. Ezra Abbott, Professor of New Testament interpretation in Harvard
University — recently deceased — who was a Bible translator and Biblical
scholar of international reputation, answers:
“I know of no standard Greek Lexicon which defines baptizo by the words to
sprinkle, pour or be-dew.”
Prof. Van Name, Librarian of Harvard University, answers:
“None; so far as I am aware.”
Prof. W.W. Goodwin, senior Professor of Greek in Yale University, author of
several Greek text books for our colleges and universities, answers:
“I have never seen any such definitions as those to which you refer.”
Prof. Lewis L. Paine, of Bangor Theological Seminary, Maine, answers:
“Originally immersion was the practice of the first churches.”
Prof. A.H. Buck, Professor of Greek in the great Methodist University of
Boston, Mass.:
“I can find no trace of any such lexicon and have no reason to believe that
any such exists. I suppose that such meanings as those you have noted in your
question are confined to commentaries and DENOMINATIONAL works and
would not be recognized as having any authority OUTSIDE.”
In answer to my question: “Does the world’s unsectarian scholarship sustain
you in your answer?” Prof. Louis L. Paine says: “Yes.” In answer to my
question:
“Do you, as a Greek scholar, agree with the Professors of Greek in Yale,
Harvard, Michigan and Boston Universities, etc., in saying: I know of no
standard Greek Lexicon which defines baptize by some word meaning
allusion?”
Prof. Fowler, Professor of Greek in the Texas State University says: “Yes.”
These are all, I believe, Pedobaptist scholars. Yale, Harvard, Boston
Universities and Bangor Theological Seminary are leading Pedobaptist
