The Priest's New Clothes: Exploring Zechariah 3:1-7 and Paul's Doctrine of Baptism

Paul's imagery of baptism as "putting off" the old man, "putting on" the new man, and being "clothed" in Christ seems to allude to Zech 3:1-7, where Joshua the high priest is re-clothed by Yahweh into clean garments. While Paul does not quote Zechariah directly, hi...
