Douglas Moo's study of James is a contribution to the Tyndale New Testament Commentaries, a popular commentary designed to help the general reader understand clearly what the text actually says and what it means, without undue recourse to scholarly technicalities.
The letter of James has often been defined in terms of moral earnestness, repentance and consistent social action, leading many to argue that it is not theological. This separation between theology and practice, Douglas J. Moo observes, can all too easily lead people to read Scripture as a book to be analysed rather than a message to be obeyed - the very mindset against which James inveighs. Moo's exposition of these themes illuminates James's rich letter and its message for us today.
