possible interpretation known to Barclay and providing all the background information he considered possibly relevant, all in layman's terms. The commentaries were fully updated with the help of William Barclay's son, Ronnie Barclay, in recent years and they are now known as the New Daily Study Bible series. The 17 volumes of the set were all best-sellers and continue to be so to this day. A companion set giving a similar treatment to the Old Testament was endorsed but not written by Barclay. In 2008 Saint Andrew Press began taking the content of the New Daily Study Bibles and producing pocket-sized thematic titles called Insights. The Insights books are introduced by contemporary authors, broadcasters and scholars, including Nick Baines and Diane-Louise Jordan. Barclay wrote many other popular books, always drawing on scholarship but written in a highly accessible style. In The Mind of Jesus (1960) he states that his aim was "to make the figure of Jesus more vividly alive, so that we may know him better and love him more". Barclay's books on the gospels and Jesus include: The Gospels and Acts: Matthew, Mark and Luke The Gospels and Acts: John and Acts Discovering Jesus Jesus of Nazareth (a companion to the miniseries) Jesus As They Saw Him Crucified and Crowned The Mind of Jesus The Parables of Jesus The Plain Man Looks at the Beatitudes The Plain Man Looks at the Lord's Prayer The Old Law and the New Law And He Had Compassion: The Miracles of Jesus (Judson Press) We Have Seen the Lord!
