Bible Commentaries

A excellent new commentary on the Old Testament book

Paul distills the essence of his faith and belief. He writes to the vanguard of the new Christian faith in the heart of the greatest empire the world had ever known. We see how Paul's words are relevant in today's world, showing us that we are not too different from the Romans to whom this letter was addressed nearly 2000 years ago.

When Jesus called Matthew, as he sat in his office where he collected customs duty, he rose up and followed him and left everything behind him except one thing - his pen. Matthew was to become the chronicler of Christ's life and teachings - and, though it is widely accepted that he did not write the gospel itself, his influence is felt throughout.

In this second volume of commentary on John, William Barclay explores this gospel's implicit statements and clarifies meaning. Often referred to as the spiritual gospel, it is the book on which, above all, people 'feed their minds and nourish their hearts, and in which they rest their souls'.
