There was a profound simplicity about the best that William Barclay
wrote, and that best includes his Daily Study Bible and his
prayers. Some prayers were written for private use, some for use in
public, particularly with young people, but so personal was the
stamp he put on them, that it is usually difficult to tell which
are which. This Barclay Prayer Book contains prayers which
originally appeared in Prayers for the Christian Year and Epilogues
and Prayers, both no longer available.They were written almost
forty years ago, but are still as fresh as ever - with one slight
exception. Particularly since 1978, when William Barclay died, we
have become very aware of the way in which language and prayer can
be sexist, so for this edition all those words and phrases which
now seem too masculine, have been lightly revised.Within this
volume are the Collects from the Anglican Book of Common Prayer,
some of the treasures of the English language. Within it, too, are
modern words of the utmost directness, clarity and simplicity which
nevertheless avoid that banality which is such a danger in prayer.
This edition comes with a new foreword from Gilleasbuig Macmillan
of St Giles Cathedral, Edinburgh, which brings Barclay's prayers
alive in the new millennium. William Barclay was Professor of New
Testament in the University of Glasgow.
