James: Evangelical Exegetical Commentary

"But if any of you lacks wisdom, he must ask from God who gives to all people generously." --James 1:5
The letter of James is short in words but long in substance. Though often neglected, James's reflections on maturity and perseverance contribute much to how we understand sanctification. In this commentary on James, Brandon D. Crowe provides a robust exegetical and theological study of one of the New Testament's most practical books. Crowe emphasizes the coherence of James's message and how Jesus's own teaching shaped it. With careful attention to the Greek text, literary structure, and canonical connections, this James commentary equips pastors, scholars, and students to understand James's call for us to live out genuine faith in the midst of trial.
The Evangelical Exegetical Commentary series provides premier biblical commentary rooted in rigorous study of the original languages. Each volume integrates historical and literary insights and explores exegetical, pastoral, and theological concerns, giving readers a full understanding of the text and how to apply it to everyday life.

Brandon D. Crowe is professor of New Testament at Westminster Theological Seminary and author of The Lord Jesus Christ: The Biblical Doctrine of the Person and Work of Christ and The Last Adam: A Theology of the Obedient Life of Jesus in the Gospels .
