'Conversion,' writes William Barclay in his foreword, 'is a subject which very much needs our thought... Very certainly, conversion is a word which can never be eliminated from the vocabulary of the Christian, but equally certain the means towards it and the results of it must alter from generation to generation.' Here is an important, introductory study of the subject from the biblical viewpoint and of the means and results which attend it. To these has been added an previously unpublished Epilogue in which the Christian way is carefully described, high-lighting the demands of discipleship which makes ideal reading for young Christians.
William Barclay was an author, radio and television presenter, Church of Scotland minister and Professor of Divinity and Biblical Criticism at the University of Glasgow.
While professor, he decided to dedicate his life to "making the best biblical scholarship available to the average reader". The eventual result was the Daily Study Bible, a set of 17 commentaries on the New Testament, published by Saint Andrew Press, the Church of Scotland's publishing house.
The 17 volumes of the set were all best-sellers and continue to be so to this day. Barclay wrote many other popular books, always drawing on scholarship but written in a highly accessible style.
