John the Loyal: Studies in the Ministry of the Baptist
Overview
Examine the life of John the Baptist with one of the modern era’s most respected biblical scholars. “John was like the morning in the early dawn,” wrote A. T. Robertson—enticing readers to explore the Baptist’s unique life in the biblical testimony to him. Cross-referenced with detailed footnotes on Greek terms, Robertson’s volume is both accessible and highly informative. He presents John as the key to Christ, and invites readers to explore the full portrait of John’s life presented in the New Testament.

“The strict Jewish custom that every son must learn a trade would not apply to Levites, especially not to priests, as they all had a calling divinely appointed.” (Page 26)
“If he was to be a reformer he must be more than a denunciator of present conditions. It was not hard to criticise the Pharisees and Sadducees. Could he offer the people anything better?” (Page 33)
“He had a message that always wins ‘a response in the human heart—sin and judgment, repentance and forgiveness” (Page 53)
“The expression, ‘the hand of the Lord,’ is indeed peculiar to Luke10 in the New Testament” (Page 19)
“He will be glad to have a son, and gladder still to have such a son.8” (Page 9)
