The Message of John the Baptist by Newman Campbell
John the Baptist emerges from the wilderness to preach repentance in Judea during Tiberius Caesar's reign. He calls for acts of charity and fair dealing by crowds, tax collectors, and soldiers, and foretells one greater who will baptize with the Holy Ghost. Herod's disobedience leads to John's imprisonment and martyrdom as Luke closes with Adam as the son of God.
