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.
