“I write books to resolve things that are bothering me, things I don’t have answers to.

My books are a process of exploration and investigation. So, I tend to tackle different problems related to faith, things of concern to me, things I wonder about and worry about.”

—Philip Yancey Vanishing Grace Philip Yancey

Yancey explores what has contributed to an increasingly negative view of Evangelicals, and offers a vision for a more grace-filled and compelling way to present the Gospel to a jaded society.

Events surrounding Jesus’ baptism reveal the intense religio us excite­ ment and social ferme nt of the early days of John the Bapti st’s ministry.

Herod had been cruel and rapa­ cious; Roman milita ry occupation was harsh. Some agitat ion centered around the change of governors from Gratus to Pilate in AD 26. Most of the people hoped for a religio us solution to their intolerable political situa­ tion, and when they heard of a new prophet, they flocke d out into the desert to hear him. The religious sect (Essenes) from Qumran professed sim­ ilar doctrines of repen tance and bap­ tism. Jesus was bapti zed at Bethany on the other side of the Jordan (see Jn 1:28). John also baptiz ed at “Aenon near Salim” (Jn 3:23).
