Professor William Barclay was an outstanding New Testament scholar, a theologian of international distinction, a revered teacher, and a noted communicator, whether speaking personally or lecturing publicly. In 1972, he gave four television lectures based on his best-selling New Testament Daily Study Bible series for the BBC Scotland. He was also a devoted family man. This collection of his devotional readings, brought together in this format for the first time, bring an unrivalled depth of unassuming scholarship and gentle wisdom within the grasp of the general reader.
Praise for Barclay's BBC series:
His personal conviction and command of his subject demands attention and he has a gift of adding layers to textures and colour and feel which takes the contemporary viewer back to biblical times.
—Billy Kay, Scottish writer, broadcaster, and BBC producer
