Contents:

General editor's preface -- Author's preface -- Abbreviations -- Introduction -- Outline -- Annotated bibliography -- Text and commentary on James -- Scripture index -- Subject index.

Subject: James, which is part of the NIV Application Commentary Series, helps readers learn how the message of James can have the same powerful impact today that it did when the author first wrote it. Straight to the point, practical, affirming, convicting -- that's the book of James. In it, we see a picture of early Christians wrestling to apply the teachings of Jesus to their everyday lives. And we see a community plagued by divisiveness and hypocrisy, with an emphasis on wealth and status. James pulls no punches addressing these issues, calling for a faith that shows itself in moral actions: in speech, in interpersonal relationships, in economic and social justice. He also lays out a theology of the redemptive value of suffering. In our day when the behavior and attitudes of professed Christians are often not much different from the surrounding culture, in our society of great wealth, and in our culture that abhors suffering, the challenging message of James is greatly needed. Exploring the links between the Bible and our own times, David Nystrom shares perspectives on the book of James that reveal its enduring relevance for our twenty-first-century lives. - Publisher.
