Abstract
As already indicated, in dealing with the question of the relationship between Jesus and John it is easily possible to overlook what is at least an equally important area, the content of the Baptist's message. In addition, an emphasis upon the environmental factors tends to lead to a generalization regarding the similarity of one movement to another without making sufficient allowance for original elements or for elements whose origin may not be in the contemporary scene but rather in a previous era. It is this content of the Baptist's message which has often been dealt with piecemeal in journal articles and in commentaries. For that reason it seemed advisable to consider the work and message of the Baptist from the point of view of discovering its Old Testament roots and drawing together the relevant material which had been written regarding it. It is the purpose of this thesis to consider the life and message of this one who has been called "the clasp between the Testaments," and so attempt to rediscover the relevance of his message for the world of today.
