Life of John the Baptist
Rare among books of its time, the Life of John the Baptist can allegedly be pinpointed to an exact year: AD 390. Supposedly written by Serapion, Bishop of Thmuis, this work harmonizes details of John the Baptist’s life from the Gospels and adds a great number of details; especially regarding John’s confrontation with Herod and Herodias.
