PAIDEIA: James and Jude

In this addition to the well-received Paideia series, two respected New
Testament scholars offer a practical commentary on James and Jude that is
conversant with contemporary scholarship, draws on ancient backgrounds, and
attends to the theological nature of the texts.

This commentary, like each in the projected eighteen-volume series, proceeds by
sense units rather than word-by-word or verse-by-verse. Paideia commentaries
explore how New Testament texts form Christian readers by

* attending to the ancient narrative and rhetorical strategies the text
employs
* showing how the text shapes theological convictions and moral habits
* commenting on the final, canonical form of each New Testament book
* focusing on the cultural, literary, and theological settings of the text
* making judicious use of maps, photos, and sidebars in a reader-friendly format

An excellent contribution to the impressive Paideia commentary series. " Students will benefit greatly from this well-written volume. Veteran scholars
are also encouraged to add it to their library. - Craig A. Evans"
