This first volume of William Barclay’s thoughtful study of the Gospel of Matthew brings startling insights into Jesus’ early life and teaching.

Matthew is written in a rhythmical and often poetic prose. It is the gospel best suited for public reading, and, as a result, it is probably the best known: It tells the story of Christ’s infancy; the Sermon on the Mount; the parables of the wheat and the tares; the sheep and the goats; and the Resurrection.

The Gospel of Mark shows us the reaction of the people to Jesus’ ministry. While making clear Jesus’ divinity, in Mark’s account we also see a very human and even emotional Jesus. The Gospel of Mark is regarded by some as perhaps the most realistic of all the gospels.

The Gospel of John is, for many Christian people, the most precious book of the New Testament. Markedly different from the other gospels, John avoids the pithy phrases that identify the others. John’s thorough and winning, yet confrontational, style is part of the reason that this gospel is considered to be so important within the New Testament.

It was when he was in Ephesius in AD 55 that Paul, learning that things were not all well in Corinth, wrote to the church there. This was to be his call to one of the greatest and most cosmopolitan cities of the ancient world; a rebuke and an instruction and a call for unity within the Church.

At the very beginning of his letter, Paul sums up his wishes and prayers for his friends in two tremendous words: Grace and Peace.
