This book is based on great knowledge, but it is delightfully clear and helpful and it will be valued by those who seek a short, nontechnical introduction. Dr. Barclay, who is Professor of New Testament in the University of Glasgow, gave some very successful lectures on BBC Television in Scotland in Spring 1965, summing up his longer books such as his two SCM Paperbacks The Mind of Jesus and Crucified and Crowned. This book records what he said then.
