These commentaries have served readers tremendously well in generations past, and we want to ensure that they serve many more for generations to come. While these commentaries are not new, they remain relevant as the content in each volume provides timeless scriptural exposition. And perhaps today more than ever, Christians need reliable biblical instruction that has stood the test of time. With so many voices vying for our attention and allegiance, Christians need to understand the voice of the One calling out to us in Scripture so we may faithfully live for Him and His glory. And it is to this end that these commentaries were written: that believers may encounter God through His Word and embody it in their everyday lives.

    F aith working through love (Gal. 5:6) could easily be considered the theme of the epistle of James. The author is concerned that his readers understand well the responsibilities of New Testament Christianity. True saving faith must be a vibrant, working faith. James emphasizes that love for God and faith in Him cannot be separated from an active love for ones neighbor. Gods will is that the Christian love both God and the children of God. The fruit of genuine faith is unhypocritical love; the product of love is practical works of righteousness and piety. James does not countenance a dead orthodoxy. He agrees with John that the authentic believer is one who does not love with word or with tongue, but in deed and truth (1 John 3:18). That is the heart of his epistle.

    Though the primary purpose of this commentary is not the so-called introductory matters such as authorship, destination, date, and purpose, those do need to be touched upon briefly.

    AUTHORSHIP

    The author is identified as James, a bond-servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ (1:1). The New Testament mentions five men by the name of James. The most prominent James in the Gospels is James the son of Zebedee and brother of John. In the listings of the apostles, he is always included in the first group of four (Matt. 10:2; Mark 3:17; Luke 6:14; Acts 1:13). It is highly unlikely that he was the author, for he suffered martyrdom at the hands of Herod Agrippa I early in the history of the church (AD 44; Acts 12:2). He died before he could have achieved a position of leadership such as that enjoyed by the author of James. Further, if he was James the son of Zebedee, he would likely have designated himself as an apostle and not simply James.
