Summary: Barclay's opinions on the New Testament
Comment: Finding scholarly Bible books among a sea of evangelistic books can be frustrating. If you are more of a Bible scholar than a Bible thumper, then this set of paperbacks may be just the thing. I tend to agree with Barclay's opinions and viewpoint, so reading these is very comfortable. Buy one [don't write your name in it], see if you like it, and then buy the set (you will like it). Give the one book you bought to a friend who is interested in learning about the New Testament from a scholar's perspective, or simply a desire to know what is in the NT in plain language.

Summary: An Excellent Commentary Series
Comment: This series of books is one of the best I've seen. I've always loved William Barclay's writings, though sometimes his scholarly writing is a little tough.
For many tough to understand scriptures, this series provides thorough and accurate answers to the real meaning of what the scriptures mean. This is not easy reading, it takes time to get through the materials. Theologically, these books could be much stronger. Historically, they are really top notch and can really give insight to those studying the scriptures.
These books, or something like them, should be on the shelves of all Christian pastors and leaders because they contain so much in depth knowledge that need to be near those that minister to others. When I was in bible school these books were not required but I got my hands on them anyway. All Christians will benefit from reading Barclay's well written and well researched words. Non Christians can learn much from Barclay too. They will help answer many of the tough questions that most of us have
At times the theology is a little questionable, since this book has been written from an extremely conservative viewpoint where it seems like the author is afraid to say certain things. The hisorical benefits of this book are fantastic. I love reading about what life was like when the books of the New Testament were written.

Summary: Outstanding Commentary on the New Testament
Comment: William Barclay, a Scottish theologian, has written an outstanding 17 volume commentary on the New Testament. (It can be bought as a set or by separate volumes.) He gives a passage, then proceeds with an explanation. Often, he gives four or five interpretations, sometimes following with a statement something like, "The first interpretation probably is not what Paul meant because..., the second is certainly a possibility because...; however, I tend to favor the third explanation because..." Essentially, I respect his work because of the depth of his scholarship, learning, and faith, but almost more because of his honesty. If there are major conflicting views from other scholars on a passage, he gives their reasoning. He gives support (such as translations from the Greek or facts of church history) for his stances and if it is flatly an opinion, he states that it is so. In fact, he is sometimes so fair, that he spends almost too long giving all the possible interpretations of a passage. Our study class has appreciated a source which gives readable scholarly background and presents dissenting views fairly. His work sparks some of the best discussion we've had. It isn't "a hundred pages a sitting" reading, but it is fascinating to read a chapter then discuss and reflect on the ideas he raises. For me, this is the best Bible reference book I have ever used.
