BECNT: James

Dan McCartney, a highly regarded New Testament scholar and an expert on
biblical interpretation, offers a substantive yet accessible commentary on
James in this latest addition to the award-winning BECNT series. With extensive
research and thoughtful chapter-by-chapter exegesis, McCartney leads readers
through all aspects of the book of James--sociological, historical, and
theological--to help them better understand its meaning and
relevance.
As with all BECNT volumes, James features the
author's detailed interaction with the Greek text. This commentary admirably
achieves the dual aims of the series - academic sophistication with pastoral
sensitivity and accessibility - making it a useful tool for professors,
students, and pastors. The acclaimed user-friendly design includes shaded
chapter introductions summarizing the key themes of each thought
unit.
About the series: The Baker Exegetical
Commentary on the New Testament (BECNT) series provides commentaries that blend
scholarly depth with readability, exegetical detail with sensitivity to the
whole, and attention to critical problems with theological
awareness.
'McCartney's commentary on James is a fresh and important
contribution to the literature on James. He convincingly argues that faith
plays a central role in the letter. McCartney writes lucidly and clearly while
ably surveying various interpretations. This work is exegetically rewarding,
theologically rooted, and pastorally wise.' - Thomas R.
