"The more we study John, the more wealth arises out of it," says William Barclay about the fourth gospel. In this volume, Dr. Barclay completes his intensive study begun in the Gospel of John, Volume 1 (that covers chapters 1 through 7) and helps give the reader a sharpened perception of the emphases of this gospel. Written during a time when heresies abounded, the Gospel of John clarifies both the humanity and deity of Jesus Christ. Through his imaginative translation and insightful commentary, Barclay uncovers the unlimited riches of this beloved book.
William Barclay (1907-1978) was a world-renowned New Testament interpreter and Professor of Divinity and Biblical Criticism at Glasgow University in Scotland. Having written more than fifty books, he is probably best known as the author of The Daily Study Bible series.
