Book Description, Modified from Goodreads:
What should you as a Christian be thinking, saying, and doing? These are the questions we’re all asking and that James is answering. 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, and help with the difficult passages.


My Review:
James is a commentary on James. The author gave some background information about the book and then commented on the verses as he worked verse-by-verse through James. It works best if you read the passage and then read his comments. He provided word studies, background information, and preaching-style insights into the meaning of the text. I thought he did a good job of helping explain potentially confusing verses and bringing out insights from the text. Overall, I'd recommend this useful Bible-study tool.


If you've read this book, what do you think about it? I'd be honored if you wrote your own opinion of the book in the comments.
