'[William Barclay] paints pictures with words and draws you in … absolutely fantastic.
The work of William Barclay requires no introduction for long-term Life and Work readers.
Author of the world-famous Daily Study Bibles before his death in 1978, his words and work continue to shape and influence generations of Presbyterians around the globe. Drawn from his acclaimed commentaries on the New Testament, this latest volume brings together a new pattern of his work, using the book of Matthew as a guide for a year. This work would be helpful for those charged with the task of leading worship or a year-long Bible study.
