John the Baptist (1951) is a book by Carl H. Kraeling.

Abstract

"This scholarly piece of historical criticism in appraisal of the significance of John the Baptist is a definite contribution to the study of New Testament times. The author is concerned to give a clear picture of the personality and message of the forerunner of Jesus in the light of a critical study of the all too meagre source materials available. But he draws upon his knowledge of the times to fill in the background. Particular attention is given to the relationship of John and Jesus, as is natural. This is a book which will be of particular interest to Protestant New Testament scholars ... The essential facts about John the Baptist's life, work, and thought, and the impact he made upon his contemporaries and later generations."--Publisher description.
