John the Baptist; Prophet and Evangelist, by Carl Kazmierski, examines this interesting first century prophet by analyzing the New Testament, Josephus, as well as the many traditions that surround the Baptist. This book is very concise, and serves as a good introduction to the topic. The emphasis is on five key aspects of John; as prophet and evangelist, as apocalyptic preacher, as Elijah, as the forerunner of the Messiah, and finally, as witness to the Messiah. I enjoyed this book, found it interesting, well written and easy to read. I do wish it had an index.
