St. John the Baptist: A Scholarly Look at the Baptizer (Part II)
St. John the Baptist is an incredible interesting figure. While there is lore around secret societies that argue his importance, there is also double speak, contradiction and just odd language in the canonical gospels as well. There seems to be an attempt to both play-up St. John, while also downplaying him.
What were the writers of the gospel of St. John hiding? Did he really believe he was the prophet Elijah? Did he have doubts? Was the baptism real?
This and much more will be uncovered in this second part of our two part series!
