James (Tyndale New Testament Commentaries) Paperback – January 8, 2007

"The Bible is being translated, commented on, read, studied, preached and analyzed as never before. But it is questionable whether it is being obeyed to a comparable degree," says Douglas Moo in the preface to his commentary on James. "All this suggests that the message of James is one that we all need to hear--and obey. No profound theologian, James' genius lied in his profound moral earnestness; in his powerfully simple call for repentance, for action, for a consistent Christian lifestyle. His words need to thrust through our theological debates, our personal preconceptions, our spiritual malaise and set us back on the road to a biblical, invigorating, transforming Christianity." The Tyndale New Testament Commentaries have long been a trusted resource for Bible study. Written by some of the world's most distinguished evangelical scholars, these twenty volumes offer clear, reliable, and relevant explanations of every book in the New Testament. These Tyndale volumes are designed to help readers understand what the Bible actually says and what it means. The introduction to each volume gives a concise but thorough description of the authorship, date, and historical background of the biblical book under consideration. The commentary itself examines the text section by section, drawing out its main themes. It also comments on individual verses and deals with problems of interpretation. The aim throughout is to get at the true meaning of the Bible and to make its message plain to readers today.

4.0 out of 5 stars Douglas Moo - Commentary on Book of James

It met my expectations of being a very good commentary on the Book of James. I liked the excellent references to the original Greek.

5.0 out of 5 stars yes, the best commentator on James
Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2005

I affirm the previous reviewer's comment that Moo has written the best commentary on James. Having compared the earlier Tyndale edition with the Pillar edition (prior to my purchasing a copy of one of them for myself), I want to add that I found the Tyndale/IVP edition only slightly shorter (it has smaller font!), and actually preferable in terms of the greater clarity with which Moo deals with significant issues (e.g., the relationship of faith & works). Thus, there was for me no compelling reason to purchase the (more expensive) Pillar edition.

Bought this as a resource for our Bible Studies look at James. Already had Moyter's commentary, this one has a less devotional, more technical feel. Accessible, deep, a def resource for our study.

Very detailed. Supports ideas and information with sources. Promotes unity of the Bible and not division between James and Paul.

Douglas Moo has a very balanced approach to expounding James' letter. He tackles the Greek expertly, but does not linger in that subject as some do. He treats the book as an inspired work of divine instruction.

I had purchased this book based on he book cover. It was to replace one that I borrowed. But instead this version I received a later revision of this book.I purposely ordered this version and didn't want another.

A very useful book for preparing a series of talks on the Letter of James from the New Testament. The introductory chapters were particularly helpful.
