Böcker av William Barclay

And he said to them, 'Follow me'. When Jesus called upon Matthew, as he sat in his office where he collected customs duty, Matthew got up and followed him and left everything behind him except one thing - his pen. Matthew was to become the great chronicler of Christ's life and teachings and, though it is now widely accepted that he did not write the gospel itself, the influence of Matthew's record is undeniably felt throughout.This first volume of William Barclay's thoughtful study of the Gospel of Matthew brings startling insights into Jesus' early life and teaching. Journey with Barclay and re-discover the baptism of Jesus, the Sermon on the Mount and the challenges of discipleship. William Barclay's world-renowned down-to-earth New Daily Study Bible commentaries - including his own translations of the New Testament texts - have inspired millions of people across the generations 'to know better their Bible, their God and their Saviour'.

'Parables' are stories Jesus told using characters and events familiar to his audience. But parables are a special kind of story and Jesus used them for his special purposes. William Barclay unlocks these stories, revealing the hidden depth and meaning.

People know the words of the Lord's Prayer by heart. With the words repeated so often, the freshness and meaning begins to disappear. Barclay gets right into the very heart of the meaning and helps you to rediscover the real meaning. This book contains original Biblical texts.

Mark gives us the most human picture of Jesus, describing him simply as 'the carpenter', and speaks most about Jesus' feelings and emotions. This book builds on the infectious enthusiasm of Mark, adding wonder to the stories behind the text.

Stylistically unlike any other part of the New Testament, Revelation is also notoriously bewildering and difficult to understand but, with Barclay's help, we are able to unlock its wonders and blessings.

William Barclay testifies to the Bible's unique value as an inspired book and gives clear advice on the best way to read it.

Rogerson, who has also written a new introduction. Rogerson is the head of the Department of Biblical Studies at the University of Sheffield and an authority on the Old Testament.
