This review is from: Great Themes of the New Testament (Best of Barclay) (Paperback)

William Barclay is likely the most often referenced New Testament scholar by teachers and writers of teaching material. His unsurpassed mastery of ancient Greek and the cultlure of the early Christian church facilitates understanding of what the Biblical message meant in its day and how we may apply its wisdom today. Barclay makes ancient scriptures live again!
