Author Michael Herbers' New Book, 'The Voice and the Word', is a Historical Novel of the Relationship Between Jesus and John Paired With Biblical References
Recent release "The Voice and the Word" from Covenant Books author Michael Herbers is a religious and historical inquiry into John the Baptist and his relationship with Jesus along with their given missions.
DAVIDSONVILLE, Md., February 15, 2022 (Newswire.com) - Michael Herbers, an assiduous researcher and author in Christian history and theology, has completed his new book, "The Voice and the Word": a historical account of the relationship between John the Baptist and Jesus.
Herbers shares, "So great has been the magnification of Jesus that the circumstances and lives of persons surrounding him have been alternately diminished, stereotyped, scorned, or simply enveloped and swept along in the aura of the Jesus story. One such historical personage is that of John the Baptist, he who was given the heaven-sent mission—responsibility—to 'make straight the way of the Lord.'
"These two men were cousins, John being the elder by six months. Both men lived in obscurity for thirty years until John dramatically stepped forth to preach repentance and preparation for the coming messiah, followed by Jesus a few months later. Recent scholarship and archeological discovery have shed some light on the cultural milieu of their era but has not, however, been able to inquire into the fundamental questions of their relationship.
"This book's title embodies the well-known titles ascribed to these cousins: 'The Voice' who is John and 'The Word' who is Jesus. These men and their heaven-sent missions are as indissolubly linked as are the linked functionality of their monikers. Therefore, it is especially important that this relationship be explored and historical clarity established."
Published by Covenant Books of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, Michael Herbers' new book incorporates nearly 400 biblical references to attribute to the discussed relationship and clarify the mission of these two men.
Readers can purchase "The Voice and the Word" at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon or Barnes & Noble.
