This volume, a revised version of a doctoral dissertation submitted to the University of Sheffield in 1990, places John the Baptist within his first-century Jewish context by exploring his public roles and activities as a baptizer and a prophet as they would have been understood within the sociohistorical context of Second Temple Judaism. After surveying the relevant traditions concerning John the Baptist (in particular, Josephus, canonical Gospels, and extracanonical sources), the volume turns to the use of ablutions and immersions in the Hebrew Bible, in Second Temple Jewish literature, and especially in the Qumran literature. In light of this context, several functions of John's baptism are proposed both in continuity with his context and in distinction from it. Then, Webb explores John's role as a prophet in two respects. First, after surveying the expectation of eschatological figures of judgment and restoration in the Hebrew Bible and Second Temple Jewish literature, John's own proclamation of a coming one is understood as describing Yahweh's coming to judge and restore, but through an unspecified human agent. Second, in light of the varieties of prophetic figures in the Second Temple period, John is best understood as a popular prophet who uses the symbolic event of the people's baptism in the Jordan River and their return home to symbolize not only their entrance into the true remnant Israel but also their entrance into the Promised Land. When this symbolic activity is placed alongside John's prophetic critique of Herod Antipas and of Herod's marriage, the social and political implications of this critique become evident. The symbolic activity and strong critique led to the Baptist's death under Herod Antipas.

Examines how and why the authors of the first three Gospels shaped the story of John the Baptist around the story of Jesus. Careful comparison of these foundational texts yields not only the perspectives of the Synoptic authors but also a provisional sketch of the historical figure of the Baptist, which is then placed within the religious, political and economic context of first-century C.E. Judea. Special attention is given to the interface between John and the Qumran community that scholars have proposed ever since the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered.

John the Baptist is one of the most fascinating and misunderstood characters in the Bible. A prophet of two worlds, he calls out to the Israel of his own generation and to Christian believers of today to heed the most radical demands of conversion and newness of life. Kazmierski reflects on the rich and colorful portrait of John found in the New Testament, and invites readers to respond to John's message and to hear the "voice crying in the wilderness".

Unlike prophets of the Old Testament, John the Baptist appears in the New Testament, but he is mentioned only briefly. He performs his role as the forerunner of Christ and then disappears into obscurity. Yet John became the only prophet to point to the Messiah in the flesh and announce Him. There has not been another prophet since John. He is the last. The few verses in the New Testament relating to John are there only because of his brief relationship with Christ. The Apostles who wrote the New Testament seemed determined to keep him in the shadows. The Baptist does not belong in the shadows. He lived during one of the most momentous times in history, and by viewing John's life from an historical perspective also brings to life the age in which the younger Christ lived. Both men lived during the rampages of Herod the Great's sons, the deviltry of the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the oppression of the Romans. Jesus' story has been told: John's has not been told-until now.

For the first time in nearly 50 years, a casual yet informative method to learn about John the Baptist… "Why did each of the four evangelists make John the gateway to the Gospel, the first preacher of Good News? What were the reasons for the early Church's intense interest in a desert hermit whose public ministry lasted two years or less? Why in early Christian tradition was John the Baptist accorded an exalted religious stature, almost equal to that of Mary? The irony is that most modern scholarship on John has missed the true sources of his religious significance…in his links to Christ and to the very earliest beginnings of the Christian religion."—from the Introduction Alexander Burke pieces together the mystery of this well-known disciple of Jesus one chapter at a time, covering John's preaching, arrest and execution, his role in Eastern and Western Christian Tradition, and the many paradoxes surrounding him. An excellent resource for group or individual study, John the Baptist offers questions for reflection at the end of each chapter. Discover a fresh perspective of John the Baptist. Let him rise to the top of the beadroll of Christian heroes where Jesus believed he belonged. Step back and see the beautiful mosaic of mysteries that made up this fascinating saint's life.

JOHN THE BAPTIST, son of Zechariah and Elizabeth, the forerunner of Jesus, came preaching just before Jesus’ ministry, announcing the passage of one and heralding the coming of another. John began his preaching in the Wilderness of Judea, saying: “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” (Matt. 3:1-2) He wore clothing of camel hair and a leather girdle belt around his loins, similar to that of the prophet Elijah. Meyer tells the historical account of the prophet’s life, winding historical insights with spiritual lessons. The outcome is an inspiring account of John the Baptist that moves readers to take note just as John the Baptist commanded: “Behold the Lamb of God!”

"To this day the ministry of John the Baptist remains an enigma to many. Who was this peculiarly intense hermit of a prophet who laid the very principles of Christianity? Who was this mysterious fulfillment of the prophet Elijah, and what was his ministry really about? In this book we will consider the life, ministry, and influence of John whom the Son of God called "far more than a prophet." This is not simply a biography - for his life can be seen in glimpses through the four Gospels of scripture. Herein we will examine the earliest foundations of Christianity as laid by God's messenger: John the Baptist"--from product page on amazon.com.
