Barclay's New Testament






	This version, translated by William Barclay, a professor of Divinity and Biblical Criticism at Glasgow University, is divided into two volumes: (1) The Gospels and the Acts of the Apostles; (2) The Letters and the Revelation. The translator had two aims in making this translation. The first was to try to make the New Testament intelligent to the man who is not a technical scholar. The second was to try to make a translation which did not need a commentary to explain it. A striking feature of the Barclay's edition is that each section of books is presented in chronological order, beginning with Mark, Matthew, Luke, Acts, John. There are few notes appended to the text. When they do appear, they usually indicate a different reading in some MSS for the verse indicated. There are no headings or titles. Intending to produce a translation of the NT that did not require a commentary, Barclay has at times offered a paraphrase or commentary in lieu of an legitimate translation, resulting in a translation that is to some extent interpretive.

Dr. Barclay does more than clarify the meaning of the imagery. His commentary covers many interesting subjects, such as the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit, the probable facts about John exile on the island, and the meaning of Christ's knocking at the door.
