The Mind of Jesus
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Author, William Barclay, provides a background of scripture and the culture of the time. In that context, he tells what he believes Jesus was thinking. I appreciate the picture Barclay creates with the knowns of our New Testament scripture and the history and culture of the time and area. I admire and appreciate Barclay's courage in saying how he thinks Jesus felt and what he thought.
William Barclay at his best
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
In this amazing book, Barclay covers every aspect of the life of Jesus. He follows the Gospels very closly and adds so many things that only a historian of imtimate knowledge of the times that Jesus lived in would know. His knowledge of the Greek and Hebrew that the Bible was written in adds to a greater knowledge of a more exact meaning of words that have been translated into English. A wonderful resourse book for anyone wanting to know who Jesus was and why he was sent to the world.
Scholarly wisdom for laity

Dr. Barclay's Mind of Jesus is fantastic! Dr. Barclay explains complex and difficult teachings and themes in the Bible where anyone can understand them. Dr. Barclay can be trusted. His Daily Study Bible series is used the world over as a commentary. And to the "reader" from Albertville, AL: Dr. Barclay was not an Anglican/Episcopalian. He was an ordained minister in the Church of Scotland which is a Presbyterian body.
A first-rate book for anyone who wants to know about Jesus.

Barclay has a problem with the virgin birth, and he seems to have explanations for some miracles. He is one of the best on understanding Jesus. His respect for Christ comes through in every page, as do his love and admiration for Jesus. I recommend this book, together with Richard Burridge's Four Gospels, One Jesus? to anyone who wants a basic study of these. My students agree.
Definitely an inspired book of truths

This book brought into focus many things that I would never have dreamed to even begin to think about let alone wonder about. William Barclay brings to the modern world the life and times of Jesus and enables the everyday person as myself to relate to the life past and present of Jesus Christ. A book that once finished makes you want to start again at the beginning in an effort to pick up any tidbit that might have at first reading eluded you. A must read for anyone interested in orthodox christianity.
