While the Christian tradition has subordinated John the Baptist to Jesus of Nazareth, John himself would likely have disagreed with that ranking. In this book, Joel Marcus makes a powerful case that John saw himself as the proclaimer and initiator of the kingdom of God and his own ministry as the centre of God's saving action in history.
