‘Jesus took bread and blessed it, and broke it, and gave it to his disciples, and said’ “Take, eat, this is my body”.’
Matthew is written in a rhythmical and often poetic prose. It is the gospel best suited for public reading, and, as a result, it is probably the best known: It tells the story of Christ’s infancy; the Sermon on the Mount; the parables of the wheat and the tares; the sheep and the goats; and the Resurrection.
William Barclay’s insightful commentary brings freshness to these familiar passages and uncovers the vivid depth of meaning often lost in translation and repetition.
In this second volume examining the Gospel of Matthew, discover again the miracles, the parables and the Resurrection of Jesus.
Most devotional writing sits too light on the historical and critical facts. Barclay was one of the few who could at the same time distil the essence of scholarly findings with nourishment for the Christian way.Richard Harries
