Dr. Barclay M. Newman Jr.

3-25-2022 In 1995-1997, we (Bible Study teachers and students) met Dr. Barclay M. Newman as the CEV was being introduced in New England USA. He presented American Bible Society seminars in both the Boston, MA area and in Bridgeport, CT. What a tremendous learning experience both sessions were. May his inspiring work and memory continue tro be a blessing around the world. We are thankful for his faithful sharing of his gift of Bible translation with so many others to the glory of God!

While the news of Barclay’s passing saddens me—as I’m sure it does his family, many friends, and former co-workers—I am heartened when I think of the many people around the globe who have benefited from his labors in the Bible cause. Not just the people who faithfully read, listen to, and enjoy one of the several Bible translations he spearheaded or worked on, but also the many people he mentored and encouraged as they did their own bit to faithfully bring God’s Word to diverse populations....
