I have used this same review for several of Barclay's books: The New Daily Study Bible series takes the reader through each book of the Bible in (generally) sequential segments. Each segment begins with Barclay's own translation, while all Bible quotations are from the New Revised Standard Version. Both are well-suited to modern readers. Barclay explains the richer meanings of certain words and phrases by tracing them back to their original languages. He provides clear and illuminating explanations of the societal, cultural, religious, and historical contexts of not only the events described in the biblical texts but also of their authors. He also explains how the biblical texts apply to modern Christians. Barclay speaks to us from his head and from his heart, he speaks plainly and clearly, and he speaks without sentimentality or emotionalism. (

"The Gospel according to Saint John is to many people the most precious book in he Bible," states William Barclay. In order to help uncover the tremendous wealth of this Gospel, Barclay has provided his own unique translation of the text, a detailed commentary, and a comprehensive introduction. This new edition will help bring the book in which "many people find themselves closer to God and to Jesus Christ than in any other book in the world" closer to home and freshly relevant for today's readers. For almost fifty years and for millions of readers, the Daily Study Bible commentaries have been the ideal help for both devotional and serious Bible study. Now, with the release of the New Daily Study Bible, a new generation will appreciate the wisdom of William Barclay. With clarification of less familiar illustrations and inclusion of more contemporary language, the New Daily Study Bible will continue to help individuals and groups discover what the message of the New Testament really means for their lives.
