Book Description

September 5, 2006 MacArthur Bible Studies
In this short and powerful book, the apostle James gives us practical guidance on issues that measure true and living faith.  Through an emphasis on spiritual fruitfulness, James calls all believers-then and now-to live a life that demonstrates genuine, saving faith marked by godly behavior.

A key leader in the Jerusalem church and oldest half brother of Jesus, James wrote this epistle to Jewish believers who had been scattered by persecution.  Out of compassion, he confronted Christians to test the quality and consistency of their faith.

The MacArthur Study Guide Series provides a twelve week, verse-by-verse examination of the books of the New Testament.  This revised and updated series continues to be one of the best-selling study guides currently available for individuals or small groups.

Features:
  • Twelve week study
  • Thought-provoking questions
  • Verse-by-Verse commentary
  • space provided for note-taking

Editorial Reviews

From the Inside Flap

JamesFaith without works is dead. This truth, which emphasizes the fact that spiritual fruit will accompany genuine belief, lies at the heart of this epistle. As captivating as it is convicting, the book of James outlines the practical implications of a living faith. The application it calls for is as pertinent today as it was in the first century. Join John MacArthur as he explains each verse in a way that is both doctrinally precise and intensely practical.The MacArthur New Testament Commentary series comes from the experience, wisdom, and insight of one of the most trusted ministry leaders and Bible scholars of our day. Each volume was written to be as comprehensive and accurate as possible, dealing thoroughly with every key phrase and word in the Scripture without being unnecessarily technical. This commentary will help to give a better, fuller, richer understanding of God's Word, while challenging the reader to a vibrant personal spiritual walk.

From the Back Cover

Unleashing God's Truth one verse at a time"Clear, reasonable, understandable, devout¿all things and more can be honestly said about this generation's greatest single-author pastoral commentary set. The MacArthur New Testament Commentary series is a help to Christians and preachers. Forged in the study, fired in the pulpit, these comments on the whole New Testament are a gift from one who loves Christ, given to Christ's bride, the church."¿Mark Denver, pastor, Capitol Hill Baptist Church, Washington, D.C."Dr. MacArthur's love for the Scripture and his many years of diligent study have resulted in a resource that is a great gift to the Body of Christ. I have found this tool to be a great help as I study the Word and teach it to women. I often refer to this set of commentaries to enhance my understanding of the text and to shed light on difficult passages and questions."¿Nancy Leigh DeMoss, author, Revive our Hearts radio teacher "John MacArthur has provided a compelling example of pastoral ministry based on the Word of God. Now the fruit of that ministry is available to us all: careful attention to the text of Scripture and faithful theological exposition, all in the service of the church of Jesus Christ. Both pastor and layperson will benefit for years to come from this unique commentary series."¿C.J. Mahaney, president of Sovereign Grace Ministries"The MacArthur New Testament Commentary is nothing less than a library of faithful exegesis and exposition. This project is unparalleled in our times, and John MacArthur has produced a masterful commentary series that demands attention and deserves a place in every preacher's library."¿R. Albert Mohler, Jr., PhD, president of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, KY

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for personal or group studies., February 8, 2009
By 
W. Matthews (Strongstown, PA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This study guide series is one of the best I have ever used.

Macarthur gives an introduction to the book of James regarding the authorship, the background and setting, along with historical and theological themes. He also mentions some interpretive challenges that may arise from the Scripture.

MacArthur starts each chapter with some opening questions and then provides some background information to the passage of scripture. There is room in the study guide for you to answer the questions. The scripture is then read (which is included in the study guide) along with some of MacArthur's notes about the passage.

There are then several questions to help you understand the passage better. MacArthur provides a cross-reference Scripture passage to further explore the meaning of the original passage from James. There are, of course, additional questions to ponder or discuss.

Finally, MacArthur sums up the passage and lists a few more questions to help you reflect on the text and what you have learned.

I highly recommend this study guide series for either your own personal study or a group discussion. Each chapter can take about an hour during a group Bible Study meeting.
