SCM William Barclay Collection (3 vols.)
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
When William Barclay died in 1978, Denis Duncan wrote in the British Weekly, “The world does not often grow up a man of such immense industry, talent, knowledge, humanity, and faith. . . . That his immense knowledge of theology and languages should actually reach the ‘plain man,’ in the language of the people, combining the twin qualities of simplicity and profundity is, by any standards, a modern miracle.”
This collection presents some of the most engaging volumes from Barclay’s diverse body of work. New Testament Words examines 70 of the most important Greek words in the New Testament, focusing on their relevance for preachers. Jesus as They Saw Him analyzes all of the names Jesus was called in the New Testament. Lastly, The Lord’s Supper gets at the heart of Christianity’s central sacrament, revealing the reality behind the ritual.

This is for the collection. The works of Barclay are lucid, rewarding and funded by a superb understanding of the language and background of the New Testament. It's a shame that this collection only includes three volumes for the price. His Introduction to the Gospels and Acts would be a minimal addition for a quality offering (imho).

A quick check of Wikipedia will show that William Barclay, in his own autobiography, expressed "scepticism concerning the Trinity: for example "Nowhere does the New Testament identify Jesus with God." " He also wrote, "I am a convinced universalist. I believe that in the end all men will be gathered into the love of God." He sounds more like a Unitarian Universalist than the group Logos puts him, "Christian Group: "Reformed." I am firmly of the opinion that Logos should include this sort of bigraphical information in the "About the Author" section.
