There is no joy in the world like the joy of bringing one soul to Christ.

William Barclay

William Barclay (1907–1978) war ein schottischer presbyterianischer Pfarrer und Professor für biblische Kritik an der University of Glasgow. Weithin bekannt wurde er durch seine Kommentarreihe *The Daily Study Bible*, stieß jedoch bei konservativ-evangelikalen Theologen wegen seiner universalistischen Heilslehre und rationaler Deutungen von Wunderberichten auf Kritik. Für heutige Bibelleser bietet sein Werk einen anschaulichen und leicht verständlichen Zugang zur griechischen Begriffsgeschichte sowie zur Umwelt des Neuen Testaments.
