In this second volume of commentary on John, William Barclay explores this gospel’s implicit statements and clarifies meaning. Often referred to as the spiritual gospel, it is the book on which, above all, people ‘feed their minds and nourish their hearts, and in which they rest their souls’.

"He who follows me will not walk in darkness, but he will have the light of life." 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. In this second volume of commentary on John, William Barclay explores this gospel's implicit statements and clarifies meaning. Often referred to as the spiritual gospel, it is the book on which, above all, people 'feed their minds and nourish their hearts, and in which they rest their souls'. William Barclay's world-renowned down-to-earth New Daily Study Bible commentaries - including his own translations of the New Testament texts - have inspired millions of people across the generations 'to know better their Bible, their God and their Saviour'.

'The William Barclay commentaries are absolutely fantastic and I wouldn't give up my set for anything.' -- Steve Chalke It is as if he is so constantly excited by the subject matter that he hopes to infect the reader with his own sense of wonder at the riches which the Word of God has to offer. -- John Bell

William Barclay (1907-1978) is known and loved by millions worldwide as one of the greatest Christian teachers of modern times.

Stuart Jackson

I found William Barclay's Gospel of John Book 1 so helpful in understanding the meaning &amp; background to the text that I looked forward to having Book 2. I have just started it and it lives up to my expectations.
