Robert M. Bowman, Jr
Probably the most popular commentary on James, by a scholar even better known for his commentary on Romans; solidly evangelical. more
Ostrobothnia Bible School
This commentary is overvalued. more
G Ware
I was surprisingly disappointed in this commentary. more
Tim Challies
Moo’s commentary is widely regarded as the best treatment of James and is universally recommended by the commentators on the commentaries. more
Phillip J. Long
Doug Moo wrote the replacement in the Tyndale New Testament commentary on James in 1985 (originally published by Eerdmans, now Intervarsity). more

G Ware
At the time of its publication (coincedentally the same year I was born) this was a pioneering commentary in the evangelical world- a thorough, scholarly work on a much ignored biblical text. more
Tim Challies
Davids receives top billing from some of the experts. more
Scot McKnight
Davids, whose distinctive contribution was to see James as having gone through a redaction or two. more
Ligonier Ministries (Keith Mathison)
For those who are intending to do in-depth exegetical work in the original Greek text, Davids' commentary in the NIGTC commentary will be an invaluable help. more

Robert M. Bowman, Jr
Commentary by a moderate, independently-minded Roman Catholic scholar. more
G Ware
In 2014 I preached through the book of James. more
Phillip J. Long
Johnson’s commentary replaced the rather slender volume by Bo Reicke (remarkable for including the epistles of Peter and Jude in a mere 221 pages!) By contrast, Johnson’s commentary begins with 164 pages of introduction to the letter of James alone. more
Scot McKnight
The Anchor Bible by LT Johnson is loaded with delicate observations about word studies as he examines James in his Greco-Roman context. more
