Items related to The Plain Man Looks at the Beatitudes
O the bliss of the poor!
O the bliss of the sorrowful!
O the bliss of the hungry and thirsty!
O the bliss of the persecuted!
These, as Dr Barclay says, are 'startling contradictions of the world's standards, sayings which no man could hear for the first time without a shock of amazement'.
But the Beatitudes are something more than surprising paradoxes: to work out their implications is to discover 'the technique of being a Christian'. In this book they are examined against the background of the Bible, both Old and New Testaments, and of its languages. Dr Barclay's insight and learning find fresh and fuller meaning in the familiar words, and help us to know and to follow the 'way of the Beatitudes' and its practice.
