Jesus and John the Baptist: Rivals?
The new documentary series "Finding Jesus: Faith Fact Forgery" delves into the historical proof for Jesus and other figures in the New Testament, including John the Baptist.
In a recent interview with CNN, Candida Moss, a professor of New Testament and early Christianity at the University of Notre Dame who appears in the series, discussed historical proof for John the Baptist along with his relationship with his cousin, Jesus of Nazareth.
When asked if there was any division between the followers of Jesus and the followers of John, she responded by explaining how their relationship might've been in the ancient context.
