The Letter of James
Douglas J. Moo
DESCRIPTION
Series:The Pillar New Testament Commentary (PNTC)
Few
books in the New Testament are better known or more often quoted as the
Letter of James. Because James is so concise, so intensely practical,
and so filled with memorable metaphors and illustrations, it has become
one of the two or three most popular New Testament books in the church.
This
highly original commentary seeks to make the Letter of James clear and
applicable to Christian living today. Interacting with the latest views
on James but keeping academic references to a minimum, Douglas Moo first
introduces the Letter of James in its historical context and then
provides verse-by-verse comments that explain the message of James both
to its first readers and to today's church.
REVIEWS
Southwestern Journal of Theology
"There is much to be gained from this commentary, both exegetical and practical, by pastors and serious students."
Methodist Recorder (UK)
"Moo
has many insights into the challenges James presents to the Church of
his time and of today. James's contention, that Christians must not
only reflect theologically about life but also live a holy and
obedient lifestyle, is a timely word which ought to be heard and
heeded, especially in the western Church of this new millennium. . .
This re-evaluation of James is much to be commended."
Interpretation
"The
commentary is most valuable for its excellent exegesis, which is not
so technical that the non-scholar would find it tedious. Homiletical
and devotional insights, which pervade the work, also make the volume a
worthwhile addition to the Bible student's library."
