Review Quotes:
"This thoroughly up-to-date and church-shaped commentary breaks new ground by rendering its message over and over through the critical filters of an Anabaptist understanding of how Christians ought to live in a complicated, violent, and insensitive world. Pastors and professors as well as students and Bible study leaders will benefit from the rich assortment of offerings for each passage in this noble study. This commentary will become one of the first I consult whenever I turn to the book of James."
--Scot McKnight, professor of New Testament and author of The Letter of James
