John the Baptist: His life, teaching and impact

New Testament history does not open with Gabriel visiting Mary. Rather Gabriel is in the Jerusalem temple, telling an old priest, Zechariah, he and his wife are to have a son, who is to go before the Lord “in the spirit and power of Elijah”.

This child was to be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb, and was to turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God. So it is not surprising when he was born the neighbours asked “What then will this child be?” This book answers that question.

It also deals with issues such as  ... Was John the Baptist Elijah? ... and ... Conditional Prophecies.

This is a book which deals with both the problem of the ages (suffering) and the deep things of God.

The book of Job has little appeal to the majority of Christians. Consequently little is known of it apart from the odd quote such as, “I know that my Redeemer lives” (19:25) and that it is about the suffering of a righteous man. 

However, in short compass, the author gives an excellent over-view and brings out the main features of this very early book.
