Featured Book

James: His life and letter

Here we have an excellent picture of James, the brother of Jesus. When Jesus was on earth, he did not believe Him to be the Messiah, but all that changed.

The second section of the book deals with the dating of the letter, showing it to be one of the first New Testament document. The main part of the book is a thorough commentary on the letter with new and very different insights.

There are some very useful appendices dealing with important issues such as:

  1. the problem of unanswered prayer;
  2. why James, amongst others, considered he was living in the last days and
  3. why he expected Christ to return soon.

This is a book which deals with both the problem of the ages (suffering) and the deep things of God.

The book of Job has little appeal to the majority of Christians. Consequently little is known of it apart from the odd quote such as, “I know that my Redeemer lives” (19:25) and that it is about the suffering of a righteous man. 

However, in short compass, the author gives an excellent over-view and brings out the main features of this very early book.
