William Barclay: Many Witnesses, One Lord ... Rather, it stresses the utter dependence of Jesus on God (William Barclay, Commentary on Luke, p. 140). To speak of the pre-existence of the Son is to say that God did not begin to redeem men when Jesus came into the world, but that throughout all ages the redeeming power and the sacrificial work of God has been at work. To speak of the pre-existence of the Son means that the love which was demonstrated on Calvary is an eternal movement of the heart of God to men (The Mind of Paul, p. 59). I do not think William Barclay was a Christian. In his autobiography he clearly states that he was not a Trinitarian. He did not believe that Jesus is God. He denied the doctrine of the Vicarious Atonement.
