John the Baptist: A Complete Lesson Plan

John the Baptist is an inspiring character in Christian literature, but he is only mentioned a few times in the Bible. This lesson plan allows teachers or discussion group leaders to facilitate active and scholarly discussions about this important Christian figure, using scripture and academic texts to study the social context and religious significance of John the Baptist.

Each of the three lessons in this lesson plan contains an outline and a lengthy essay that the instructor can hand out to the class or can read aloud. The lessons are meticulously researched, and they also include PowerPoint slides which are optional but which contribute a great deal to the overall presentation.
