About This Book

A devotional biography examines the life and ministry of the forerunner who heralded the coming of the Messiah, tracing his austere background, prophetic formation, and public preaching that called for repentance and baptism. It contrasts his embodiment of Old Testament prophecy with the wider, universal mission of the one he announced, follows his uncompromising confronting of religious and political authorities, his imprisonment and martyrdom, and reflects on his humility, Elijah-like spirit, and enduring witness that points others toward the Saviour.
