Conscientious but busy students of the Bible will embrace Faith that Works, as they have the author's earlier commentaries, with enthusiasm. Its concise summary on each verse gives readers what they need to understand the Book of James, and to prepare themselves for teaching or preaching it. The author has divided his commentary into twelve chapters, making it easy to teach and study the Book of James for a quarter. Discussion questions after each chapter further enhance its usefulness for group study. Photographs help the reader visualize pertinent aspects of first-century Palestinian culture. "The Epistle of James," writes the author, "may be the oldest book in the New Testament, but its message is as fresh as tomorrow morning. It communicates a challenge to an active faith that every Christian should find relevant. The themes discussed are intensely human; James was a graphic and compelling writer." - Back cover.
