Rediscovering John the Baptist

Earlier this year, archeologists in Israel reported that they had discovered a cave where John the Baptist dwelled and baptized believers. The basis of their belief was drawings of a figure by early monks that resembles the biblical description of John the Baptist and the discovery of a baptismal font with steps leading into the basin and a specially carved stone for the symbolic washing or anointing of the feet.

This discovery has sparked a new interest in rediscovering the truth about John the Baptist and his mission. Along these lines, John Zukowski has written a great article about John the Baptist that is worth reading. You can access the article by clicking on the link here.
