| Summary: | When Jesus is called John redivivus by Herod and the people of his time, it raises the question of the existence of a tradition relating resurrection with John the Baptist. It seems fairly obvious that such a tradition survived in the Gospel records. Whatever the original content of the tradition, which cannot be accurately reconstructed, this much seems clear: although John the Baptist was not physically raised from the dead, his death and ""resurrection"" were recorded as a prefiguration of the death and resurrection of Jesus. This paper traces the outline of such a tradition and the way in which the evangelists used it to suit their own purposes. |
