Reviews

'I should like to think of this book as an attempt to make the results of linguistic scholarship available for the ordinary reader of the New Testament. It is my hope and my prayer that it may do something to make the New Testament more meaningful for at least some than it was before.' - William Barclay

One of the strengths of William Barclay's work has always been the way in which he opens up the meaning of the original languages. He explores the richer meanings of Greek terms by looking at classical Greek, the Septuagint, and other sources. Some of the words discussed are: * 'agape' - the greatest of the virtues * 'arrabo' - the foretaste of what is to come * 'charisma' - the gift of God * 'ekklessia' - the church of God * 'euaggelion' - the good news * 'hamartia' - the failure which is sin * 'koinonia' - the Christian fellowship A fascinating and readable guide to NT words.
