Book Description

April 1, 1993 1565630173 978-1565630178
Since its appearance nearly 35 years ago, Black's New Testament Commentary Series has been hailed by both scholars and pastors for its insightful interpretations and reliable commentary. Each book in the series includes: an insightful introduction to the important historical, literary, and theological issues; key terms and phrases from the translation highlighted in the commentary where they are discussed; explanations of special Greek or foreign terms; references to important primary and secondary literature; and a Scripture index.

". . . it maintains the high standard of this series. The exposition is lucid, all the main cruces are discussed in detail, and the lengthy, well-structured introduction presents the conclusions which . . . Laws has formed as a result of her detailed study of the text. . . . In Sophie Laws' James, then, we have what will assuredly come to be one of the standard commentaries on this intriguing and delightful letter."
—The Expository Times



Editorial Reviews

Review

"One could hardly fail to be pleased with the content of the work. Laws writes with an engaging style which normally presents her case as clearly as space allows. . . . the challenge of meeting a first-class mind is invigorating. This is not a boring commentary."
Anglican Theological Review

". . . not only maintains the high standards of the Black's series but also fares well in comparison with . . . scholarly studies in French and German. . . . The book is a fine example of the well-informed and balanced exegesis which typifies British New Testament scholarship."
Journal for the Study of the New Testament

"The commentary is surely a success and worthy of careful use. It rarely fails to clarify difficult passages; and it will inform a reader quickly and thoroughly of the relationship of James to Christian hortatory literature. Its moderation, thoroughness, and readability strongly recommend it to pastor and scholar alike."
Interpretation

". . . a perceptive and careful attempt to tackle the enigmas posed by the epistle of James."
Scottish Journal of Theology --Review
