Description

 

 

Thanks to Barclay I’m now devouring my Bible in the same insatiable way some devour a bestselling novel. The Bible is brimming with texture and dimension and history and politics and romance and heartache and promise and love and more and, at last, it is coming into full focus for me.”
FROM THE FOREWORD BY DIANE LOUISE JORDAN

 

Short, simple and deeply insightful, this unputdownable story of Easter is told through William Barclay's wonderful modern translations. In these pages are insights into the place, context, people and time of the Easter story — transforming well-worn words into thrilling understanding. The author's commentary shines new light on why the Easter story is so important today.
With an introduction by hugely popular writer and broadcaster, Diane Louise Jordan, Insights: Easter is ideal for all who want to get beneath the superficial, for individuals and for Bible study Groups.

Born in Wick, the young Barclay moved with his family to Motherwell and graduated from the University with an MA with First Class Honours in Classics (1925) and a BD with distinction (1932). He was minister of Trinity Church in Renfrew from 1933 until 1947, when he was appointed Lecturer in New Testament Language and Literature at the University. He was subsequently appointed Senior Lecturer in New Testament and Hellenistic Greek, before his appointment to the Chair of Divinity and Biblical Criticism.
