John: The Baptist Forerunner & Martyr

Enter the world of John the Baptist through the three main roles which he embodied: baptist, forerunner, and martyr. John paved the way for Jesus, baptized him, and eventually, died for his belief that Jesus was the long-awaited Messiah. John’s whole life was wrapped up in Christ, and J. Elder Cumming’s volume captures this reality in its explanation of each event in John’s life—following the baptist from Elizabeth’s womb, through the desert, into the Jordan, and to the sword of Rome.
