No John the Baptist, No Jesus the Christ - With James F. McGrath
Manage episode 432959349 series 2604216
This week Dr. James F. McGrath returns to the podcast to discuss his latest book, "Christmaker: A Life of John the Baptist". Typically John the Baptist is treated as a mere footnote in the gospels... but what would happen if we took a closer look? James did just that, reconstructed the life of the Historical John the Baptist and it turns out he was a fascinating and influential religious leader in his own right. We take a deep dive into the life of John the Baptist, learn about his massive influence on Jesus, discover a religious group that still follows John today, and more. Enjoy!
