James, Revised Edition (Tyndale New Testament Commentaries | TNTC)

The letter of James has often been defined in terms of moral earnestness, repentance and consistent social action, leading many to argue that it is not theological. This separation between theology and practice, Douglas J. Moo observes, can all too easily lead people to read Scripture as a book to be analyzed rather than a message to be obeyed—the very mindset against which James inveighs. Moo’s exposition of these themes illuminates James’s rich letter and its message for us today. In this newly revised edition, Moo draws from important books and articles on James that have been published in the 30 years since the publication of the first edition to “tweak” some of his original interpretive conclusions.
