"As the clasp between the Old Testament and the New-the close of the one and the beginning of the other; as among the greatest of those born of women; as the porter who opened the door to the True Shepherd; as the fearless rebuker of royal and shameless sin-the Baptist must ever compel the homage and admiration of mankind." - F.B. Meyer

Who was John the Baptist, and what was his message to humanity? Blending biblical exposition with spiritual reflection, Frederick Brotherton Meyer explores, in this timeless work, the life and character of the prophet who prepared the way for Jesus. John is presented here not only as a biblical figure, but also as a lasting example of humility, self-denial, and spiritual devotion.
