"""James has emerged from an unlit corner in the library of early Christian scholarship onto the front table, and this series of studies, using systemic-functional linguistics wrapped up in classic historical exegesis, penetrates deeply into this letter with force and insight. For a long time this study will prove itself useful to anyone serious about studying James."" --Scot McKnight, Julius R. Mantey Chair of New Testament, Northern Seminary ""This collection of essays tackles some of the difficult syntactic and structural aspects of James, at both macro and micro levels, through the use of modern linguistic analyses. Those working in linguistic approaches to the New Testament, as well as scholars who study the Letter of James in general, will want to consult this book."" --Alicia J. Batten, Professor of Religious Studies and Theological Studies, Conrad Grebel University College/University of Waterloo ""We will always have room for new commentaries to address fresh applicational concerns that arise in our constantly changing cultures. But what I appreciate about the new LENT series--and its inaugural volume on James--is that it attempts to make advances on the meaning concerns in commentary writing . . . this series proposes to fill a gap in the production of NT commentaries that will be welcomed for its attempts."" --Douglas S. Huffman, Associate Dean, Division of Biblical and Theological Studies, Professor of New Testament, Biola University"
