AMAZON DESCRIPTION: "The Bible is being translated, commented on, read, studied, preached and
analyzed as never before. But it is questionable whether it is being obeyed to a
comparable degree," says Douglas Moo in the preface to his commentary on James.
"All this suggests that the message of James is one that we all need to
hear--and obey. No profound theologian, James' genius lied in his profound moral
earnestness; in his powerfully simple call for repentance, for action, for a
consistent Christian lifestyle. His words need to thrust through our theological
debates, our personal preconceptions, our spiritual malaise and set us back on
the road to a biblical, invigorating, transforming Christianity." The Tyndale
New Testament Commentaries have long been a trusted resource for Bible study.
Written by some of the world's most distinguished evangelical scholars, these
twenty volumes offer clear, reliable, and relevant explanations of every book in
the New Testament. These Tyndale volumes are designed to help readers understand
what the Bible actually says and what it means. The introduction to each volume
gives a concise but thorough description of the authorship, date, and historical
background of the biblical book under consideration. The commentary itself
examines the text section by section, drawing out its main themes. It also
comments on individual verses and deals with problems of interpretation. The aim
throughout is to get at the true meaning of the Bible and to make its message
plain to readers today. The original, unrevised text of this volume has been
completely retypeset and printed in a larger, more attractive format with the
new cover design for the series. |
