A much longer introduction than most, but early on, Davids camps in the redactor camp, one in which I am unhappy to join. This commentary is hard to read with the ubiquitous parentheses. This one is not long on explanation, but Davids is heavy on the use of parallel Scripture and other writings to back up his arguments. ( ) A much longer introduction than most, but early on, Davids camps in the redactor camp, one in which I am unhappy to join. This commentary is hard to read with the ubiquitous parentheses. This one is not long on explanation, but Davids is heavy on the use of parallel Scripture and other writings to back up his arguments. As with most of NIGTC, this was a very thorough and detailed commentary, though not as much as I had hoped. I would look to Davids for more detailed information as the second pass through, but sometimes I would find nothing new here that others hadn't already mentioned. Good that he is concise, but I had hoped for more detail. Other than his conclusion that James is a redactor (compiling his own sermons, or others), it is recommended.

This acclaimed commentary by Peter H. Davids interacts extensively with both recent and older literature on the Epistle of James, including German and French works. At the same rime, Davids's own penetrating insights themselves spark fresh debate on the composition, purpose, and meaning of the text of this important New Testament book. In an extensive introduction Davids considers questions concerning authorship, date of composition, form and structure, and the language and style of the text. He also explores seven key theological themes in James: suffering/testing; eschatology; Christology; poverty-piety; the relation of law, grace, and faith; wisdom; and prayer. The commentary proper exhibits careful exegesis and a wealth of insight into the meaning of the text for its original audience and for the church today. Davids is well acquainted with the relevant Hellenistic, Jewish, and early Christian literature and uses it frequently to point out parallels and to clarify the meaning of the text. His work also includes several helpful tables, charts, and a comprehensive bibliography on James. Book jacket. No library descriptions found. |
