The genius of the letter of James lies in its powerfully simple call for repentance, for action, for a consistent Christian lifestyle. In this commentary Douglas Moo allows James's words to cut through our theological debates, our personal preconceptions, our spiritual malaise and return us to an invigorating, transforming Christianity.

Praise for this book

"The Tyndale volumes have long been the premier shorter-length commentary series on both Testaments throughout the English-speaking world."

"Tyndale commentaries are always useful, not least because they focus so clearly on the text of Scripture, and do not fall into the trap of paying too much attention to other commentaries and not enough to the scriptural text they are intended to expound and explain. So they retain their usefulness for preachers, Bible study leaders and for all readers of the Bible."

"Within its constraints, this series includes some outstanding volumes."

"There simply is no series of medium-length commentaries that approaches the excellence of the Tyndale commentaries."

"The evenness and quality of this series are remarkable."

"The sixteenth volume in the acclaimed 'Tyndale New Testament Commentary' series, James: Revised Edition is a masterpiece of theological scholarship and very highly recommended for personal, community, church, seminary, and academic library New Testament studies reference collections and supplemental studies reading lists."
