James (ICC): A Critical and Exegetical Commentary

Jr.

For over 100 years the International Critical Commentary has had a special place amongst works on the Bible. This new volume on James brings together all the relevant aids to exegesis - linguistic, textual, archaeological, historical, literary and theological - to enable the scholar to have a complete knowledge and understanding of this old testament book. Allison incorporates new evidence available in the field and applies new methods of studies. No uniform theological or critical approach to the text is taken.

Praise for this book

"The appearance of the second ICC commentary on James, almost 100 years after the publication in 1916 of the first by James Hardy Ropes is an event worthy of comment ... Allison has certainly ... given ample expression to the multiple skills a successful commentator requires, whether philological, historical, or interpretative, all of which built upon a range of knowledge and a sensitivity to the wider religious setting." --James Carleton Paget, University of Cambridge, Early Christianity Vol. 5

"A monumental commentary." --Rainer Metzner, Biblica (Bloomsbury translation)

"This substantial commentary on James from Allison is superior to other works due to its breadth and thoroughness ... The textual interpretation is conventional in the best sense ... and the documentation and development of secondary literature in the footnotes is immense, a rare and unique resource." --Theologische Literaturzeitung (Bloomsbury translation)

"With this commentary Dale Allison has set a new milestone in research on the Letter of James. He is due credit for his detailed discussion of existing secondary literature, upon which he expands and offers room to approach existing problems from different angles." --Studien zum Neuen Testament und seiner Umwelt (Bloomsbury translation)

"This volume by noted scholar Dale Allison is a welcome and much needed addition to the International Critical Commentary series...Allison's up-to-date, comprehensive study is distinguished by its clarity, accessibility, and thoughtful presentation of differing perspectives. Rather than drive home a particular reading, Allison opens up possibilities for interpreting the texts that are grounded in exemplary historical-critical analyses." --Interpretation: A Journal of Bible and Theology
