Genesis

For decades, millions of Christians have discovered William Barclay's Daily Study Bible to be the ideal New Testament commentary series for both devotional reading and serious Bible study. Now carrying forward brilliantly the pattern established by Barclay, The Daily Study Bible has been extended into a coverage of the entire Old Testament. Each Old Testament volume is divided into small study units that can be read and understood easily in only a few minutes a day.

John C. L. Gibson, an active churchman and former pastor of a rural charge in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, is a member of the faculty in Hebrew and Semitic Languages and Coordinator and Chairman of the Board of Examiners in Biblical Literature at the University of Edinburgh.
