Tagline: Every Book of the New Testament Introduced and Explained

In this classic guide, William Barclay offers a concise introduction to each of the New Testament books. In particular, he discuses the main theme of each book as he attempts to answer the question, is there a dominant and unchanging theme in the New Testament? And, he asks, if so, what is the New Testament saying about God and God's relationship with humankind? This book is ideal for individual and group Bible study.

Some of William Barclay's most beloved prayers and meditations, originally appearing in his Prayers for the Christian Year and Epilogues and Prayers, have been brought together in this collection.

Written so many years ago but still as fresh and meaningful as ever, these prayers invite us to experience the wellspring of spirituality that nourished this timeless theologian's creativity. Arranged both topically and chronologically through the church year, A Barclay Prayer Book is perfect for personal devotional study and a useful resource for worship leaders.

He considers both its historical background and its application to our world today. The William Barclay Library is a collection of books addressing the great issues of the Christian faith.
