Straight to the point, practical, affirming, convicting that s the
book of James. In it, we see a picture of early Christians
wrestling to apply the teachings of Jesus to their everyday lives.
And we see a community plagued by divisiveness and hypocrisy, with
an emphasis on wealth and status. James pulls no punches addressing
these issues, calling for a faith that shows itself in moral
actions: in speech, in interpersonal relationships, in economic and
social justice. He also lays out a theology of the redemptive value
of suffering. In our day when the behavior and attitudes of
professed Christians are often not much different from the
surrounding culture, in our society of great wealth, and in our
culture that abhors suffering, the challenging message of James is
greatly needed. Exploring the links between the Bible and our own
times, David Nystrom shares perspectives on the book of James that
reveal its enduring relevance for our twenty-first-century lives.
This series promises to become an indispensable tool for every
pastor and teacher who seeks to make the Bible's timeless message
speak to this generation. Billy Graham The NIV Application
Commentary dares to go where few scholars have gone before into the
real world of biblical application faced by pastors and teachers
every day. This is everything a good commentary should be. Leith
Anderson Pastor, Wooddale Church Most Bible commentaries take us on
a one-way trip from our world to the world of the Bible. But they
leave us there, assuming that we can somehow make the return
journey on our own. They focus on the original meaning of the
passage but don t discuss its contemporary application. The
information they offer is valuable but the job is only half done
The NIV Application Commentary Series helps bring both halves of
the interpretive task together. This unique, award-winning series
shows readers how to bring an ancient message into our postmodern
context. It explains not only what the Bible meant but also how it
speaks powerfully today."
