None Greater: John the Baptist Gene Merrell

In None Greater, John the Baptist, a towering man of God, again gains the honor due him. The last Old Testament prophet, object of predictions by Isaiah and Malachi, called "Elijah who was to come" by Jesus, this Forerunner of the Christ stands as a beacon at the start of the Savior's redemptive work. Here we encounter a messenger with two themes: "Repent" and "Behold the Lamb of God". Authentic, historical figures join fictional people to portray John's milieu, society and land. Christian readers of all traditions will profit from this account of a key person in God's work of salvation. An extensive index of Scripture references aids deeper Bible study.
