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's letter to life for today's reader.
Alec Motyer is himself gripped by James's 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's 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 in life.
