In ways that no other writing of the New Testament has achieved, the ideas expressed in the letter to the Romans have shaped formatively the whole of Christian belief. William Barclay's fresh translation and clear exposition allows readers the chance to see the heart of Paul's gospel.

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.

This book was invaluable in a verse by verse small group study of Romans. Great reference book.
Barclay is still a theological icon
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Anything that William Barclay writes is a great addition to a spiritual library. His work on the New Testament Letters, the Lord's prayer, The Beatitudes, and especially the Parables are real treasures to seekers and learners.
A deeper dive

This is the perfect book for the student who wants more than just a basic commentary.
This series a must-have for serious Bible students
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Barclay's New Daily Study Guide series is a treasure. Every student of the Bible should own--and use--a set. Barclay adds life to Bible stories by explaining the customs of the first century. He helps our understanding of the text by explaining word selection: The various meanings, where else in the New Testament the word was used, etc. When new characters enter the Bible text, he describes them fully. He goes outside the Bible for historical material that helps with understanding. My only quibble is that Barclay absolutely, positively does not believe in miracles, while I do--and have stories to tell that can't be explained any other way. So, I disagree strongly with Barclay about miracles, but this information-packed series is still very much worth buying and reading.
Scholarly Book by Scholar
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Not sure what the previous reviewer meant- to me, any biblical commentary that includes discussion of the greek and hebrew words plus consideration of the historical/contemporary times of the writer is definitely scholarly. That's just a weird comment! Nonetheless, Barclay is an enigmatic figure, and any reading you do of his books must be tempered by your own doctrinal "take" on various issues. I would agree in spirit of the other reviewer that this book is not an end-all-be-all, but what biblical commentary is? B
