THE MESSAGE OF JAMES (2020) (BIBLE SPEAKS TODAY SERIES)

These highly acclaimed expositions interpret the Bible accurately and apply it to life today. Brilliant evangelical scholarship is presented in a highly accessible format suitable for students, teachers, Bible study leaders and personal study.

As a good communicator, James addressed his readers directly and pointedly, with vivid images from ordinary life and attention-gripping statements.

This rich exposition brings James' letter to life for todays' reader. Alec Motyer is himself gripped by James' energy and concern for practical Christianity. The letter shows how a genuine faith is a tested faith; how encounter with difficulties is an essential part of the growth to Christian maturity. This book powerfully brings out James' memorable themes - the link between enduring trials and maturity; the question of perfection; the good gifts of God; faith, works and Christian concern in a world of human need; the implications of careless and evil words; the meaning of war; the church and healing; confession of sin; and the need for active purity of life.
