Gospel Of Luke
$35.00Contents
300 Pages/Luke (24 Chapters)
Additional Info
THE GOSPEL OF LUKE“Somehow of all the Gospel writers,” comments Dr. Barclay, “one would have liked to meet Luke best of all.” Happily, Dr. Barclay’s own literary and intellectual talents complement the marvelous appeal of the good physician, so that we may apprehend here, as perhaps never before, the unique, multifaceted excellence of “the loveliest book in the world.” In so many areas, either minimized or neglected by the other writers, Luke reported fully and clearly for everyone.

Letters Of John And Jude
$34.00207 Pages/1, 2, And 3 John (7 Chapters) And Jude (1 Chapter)
Additional Info
THE LETTERS OF JOHN AND JUDEThe four letters in this volume all deal with heretical teachings within the early church. Dr. Barclay describes the various forms in which Gnosticism appeared in I John, pointing out that the notions that the material world and the human body are evil still infect the thinking of some Christians. II and III John are warnings against wandering preachers who taught false doctrines, and against individuals within the church who repudiated the writer’s authority. Jude is a strong indictment of immoral persons (antinomians) who had insinuated themselves into the church.

Acts Of The Apostles
$34.00193 Pages/Acts (28 Chapters)
Additional Info
THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES“What Acts aims to do,” says Dr. Barclay in this important volume, “is to give us a series of typical exploits and adventures of the great heroic figures of the early Church. Although the book never says so, from the earliest times Luke has been held to be its writer.” He wrote both his gospel and Acts for the principal purpose of showing how the new faith that began so humbly in Palestine had expanded. Dr. Barclay discusses the plan in Acts, Luke’s skill as a historian, the accuracy of his sources, and the honesty with which he used them.

Letter To The Romans
$34.00222 Pages/Romans (16 Chapters)
Additional Info
THE LETTER TO THE ROMANSDr. Barclay’s fresh translation and clear exposition make Paul’s very complicated letter to the church in Rome easier than ever to understand. Both in mood and in method Romans is entirely different from Paul’s other writings. Here he is setting down in a systematic fashion the essence of his faith-bequeathing in a “theological last will and testament” the ideas which have most shaped Christian belief: the questions of righteousness, of the Jews as the Chosen People, and of how people of faith are to live their daily lives. Paul’s deep meanings shine brilliantly here, thanks to Dr. Barclay’s ability to explain the letter to the Romans to every reader.

Letters To The Corinthians
$34.00268 Pages/1 And 2 Corinthians (29 Chapters)
Additional Info
THE LETTERS TO THE CORINTHIANSCorinth was not only one of the most flourishing commercial centers of the ancient world, but also a symbol of the vilest debauchery. “In this hotbed of vice,” Dr. Barclay narrates, “some of the greatest work of Paul was done.” The apostle wrote to the church there, partly to bolster its resistance to the sin and corruption, and equally to chide and counsel on the contentions that were tearing it apart. In the simple, illustrative manner that has endeared him to thousands of students, Dr. Barclay clarifies every passage in Corinthians, showing us how Paul’s advice to the Corinthians can help us live today in the midst of modern temptations.

Letters To The Galatians And Ephesians
$34.00185 Pages/Galatians (6 Chapters), Ephesians (6 Chapters)
Additional Info
THE LETTERS TO THE GALATIANS AND EPHESIANSThe Letter to the Galatians proclaims that Christianity was dependent upon nothing but God’s free gift of grace, bestowed on all who would accept that gift by faith, Gentile and Jew alike. Because it declares this universality and confutes the Judaizing Christians, the letter is one of the great theological cornerstones of Christianity, according to Dr. Barclay. The Letter to the Ephesians, “The Queen of the Epistles,” was a circular letter to the Christian churches generally. The main theme is the universal battle between good and evil, and the ultimate unity to be achieved only when all things are gathered together in Christ.

Apostles Creed
$30.00“If there is one statement of the Christian church, it is contained in the Apostles’s Creed,” writes William Barclay, former Professor of Divinity and Biblical Criticism at Glasgow University. Professor Barclay reminds us, however, that the Creed should be seen not so much as a test and yardstick of orthodoxy, but rather as a symbolic, pictoral, and poetic representation of a truth–a truth that Christians should constantly rethink and restate for themselves. Professor Barclay’s insights are particularly valuable at a time when many traditional beliefs are being questions, both by theologians and lay people. He always has managed to bridge the gap between the academic and lay worlds while addressing the most profound issues of the Christian faith.

Letters To Timothy Titus And Philemon
$35.00This volume of The Daily Study Bible series will be especially welcomed because the four New Testament books included in it are too often neglected in favor of those which deal more directly with the development of doctrine. Actually, the two letters to Timothy and those to Titus and Philemon posses an interest that is quite unique to church people of today. I and II Timothy and Titus, which are known as the Pastoral Epistles, deal with extremely practical matters of church management and personal conduct: morals and decorum, the necessity for preserving the faith in all its purity, the combating of heresy, the place of women in the church, clothing, church organization and the functions of officers in church government, the proper handling of money. The little book of Philemon is the only private letter of Paul that we possess. It tells the romantic story of the runaway slave Onesimus, who as Dr. Barclay shows, may have become, some fifty years laer, the great bishop of Ephesus. As in other volumes of the series the passages are broken up into units for convenient daily reading, each unit consisting of translation and commentary. As his millions of readers know, Dr. Barclay is a remarkable writer, combining profound scholarship, mastery of New Testament Greek, wide acquaintance with secular literature upon which he draws freely, deep personal devotion, and a gracious informal style.

Gospel Of Mark (Revised)

Additional Info
THE GOSPEL OF MARK“When we study the Gospel According to Saint Mark,” declares Dr. Barclay, “we study the most important book in the New Testament, for in it we have the first life of Jesus ever to be written,” the one on which all other accounts are based. In his introduction, Dr. Barclay explains why the first three Gospels are called synoptic, how they came to be written, and how scholars have concluded that Mark was the first. Touching on Mark’s own life, he discusses the rift that Mark occasioned between Paul and Barnabas, Mark’s sources of information about Jesus, the characteristics of his Gospel writing, and the mystery of the “lost ending.”
