What should you as a Christian be thinking, saying, and doing? These are the questions we’re all asking and that James is answering. And these truths shine brightest when someone is explaining their full context and why it all matters for us now. This is what the best preachers do, but you don’t have to wait until Sunday’s sermon. Encounter the beautiful depth of James through an enlightening verse-by-verse commentary from Vernon Doerksen that’s both straightforward and insightful. You’ll gain:
- a new perspective on how James relates to other passages in the Old and New Testament
- Insights from the original languages
- Help with the difficult passages
- And more!
You don’t have to go to seminary to encounter God in exciting, new ways through His Word. Discover how much more enjoyable your personal study will be with understandable, quality Bible commentary for everyday life.

The author started by explaining the key themes and main topics talked about in james. He provided some background, an overview, and an outline of the letter. He then worked his way through jamesby focusing on the next topic in the letter.

My goal for 2019 is to read the bible. Flipping through this book I can see that it will definitely help me to study and understand. I will be ordering these books for the branch library so that patrons will be able to study the Word too.
Paula P, Reviewer
Definitely the in depth book to have if you are desiring a deeper knowledge of the Book of James. I found it to be informative complementary and worthwhile as I read James.
Sergiu P, Reviewer
I love this series of commentaries. They are very concise and do a good job in regards to giving you a concise rundown of what the book is about. This is no exception. I am not familiar with the author but he does a great job with outlining what the letter of James is all about.

This is the second commentary that I was lucky yo read from this publisher. I want the whole set. I want to read the Bible more and these books will help with that. Very easy to read and brings one’s understanding to focus. Thanks to Netgalley, the author and the publisher for the arc of this book in return for my honest review. Receiving the book in this manner had no bearing on my review.
Terrie C, Reviewer
The author discusses the book of James. He defines what is meant by James in his letters. For instance, he notes the term trials (peirasmm) “often has two meanings “trials” and “temptations,” and “are closely related.
I particularly liked his overview of The Use of Prayer and Praise, 5:13-18. Prayer is always a mystery to me. After all, if God already knows my desires, why do I need to pray? In this portion, the author grabbed me with the first sentence: “The individual in trying circumstances may be tempted to complain against other believers or to break out in an impious oath, but the proper behavior is to turn to God.”
I found this book to be very easy to read. It flows and is packed with a plethora of information and knowledge. I highly recommend it.
I received an ARC from Moody Publishing through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This in no way affects my opinion or rating of this book.
