Daily Study Bible (Westminster Hardcover) Series

Book 1

Stylistically unlike any other part of the New Testament, Revelation is also notoriously bewildering and difficult to understand but, with Barclay's help, we are able to unlock its wonders and blessings. "The Revelation of John" contains many terrors but is also a clarion call to believers: a beautiful proclamation that, beyond the end of days, Christians shall know heaven and the true glory of God.

The Letters to the Corinthians

by William Barclay

Published March 1975

Corinth was not only one of the most flourishing commercial centers of the ancient world, but also a symbol of vile debauchery. "In this hotbed of vice," writes William Barclay, "some of the greatest work of Paul was done." In his endearing, simple, and illustrative manner, Barclay shows how the message that Paul communicated to the Corinthians continues to help us who live today in the midst of twenty-first century temptations.

The Letters to the Galatians and Ephesians

by William Barclay

Published 1 June 1975

Paul wrote the letter to the Galatians to refute a belief that restricted God's grace alone to those who followed Jewish ritualistic law.

Here William Barclay offers his own translations of these texts, as well as insightful commentaries.
