Reviews
A comprehensive and balanced account of the community and morality of James the Just, based on meticulous scholarship and profound understanding, a major contribution to the understanding of the interplay between belief and behavior in the community of Jesus and his family. (Jacob Neusner, Editor of 'The Brother of Jesus: James the Just and his Mission') Dr. Strange pays the Letter of James the compliment of taking it seriously as an important voice within the religious and moral discourse of antiquity. His study is a model of comparative rigor, distinguished at once by a largeness of vision and a patient attentiveness to specific texts. The result is a fresh and compelling vision of the moral world that James constructs. (Luke Timothy Johnson, Robert W. Woodruff Professor of New Testament and Christian Origins, Emory University)
