Beyond its status as a disputed book in ancient considerations of the canon, James's apparently contradictory teaching on faith and works can seem quite troubling. In this original translation, Rev. Dr. Curtis P. Giese tackles James with a thorough, faithful commentary. He argues that the book is truly scriptural, written by James the half-brother of Christ, and that the teaching on justification is reconcilable with the rest of the scriptures. Giese treats recent scholarship, giving particular focus to the various interpretations of the structure of James, whether as a disjointed collection of semi-essays or an intentional, integrated narrative. He also extensively treats the reception of James by Luther and the Reformers in the face of pressures from the Roman church.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeatures\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeveral escursus essays on James in Luther and Reformation thought\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn overview of the canonicity of James\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdditional Essays\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Eschatological Focus of James\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOld and New Testament Connections in James\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReception of James in the Early Church\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLuther and the Lutheran Confessions on Justification in James 2:14-26\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the series\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Concordia Commentary Series: A Theological Exposition of Sacred Scripture is written to enable pastors and teachers of the Word to proclaim the Gospel with greater insight, clarity, and faithfulness to the divine intent of the Biblical text.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe series will cover all the canonical books of the Old and New Testament, with an original translation and meticulous grammatical analysis of the Hebrew, Aramaic, or Greek of each text.
