James - Softcover

An Accessible Verse-by-Verse Commentary of James 

Choosing a Bible commentary can be daunting. With complex terms and dense exposition, many are tailored to scholarly theologians rather than everyday believers. And for those leading a small-group Bible study, speaking at a women’s gathering, or simply growing in their knowledge of God’s word, it can be hard to know where to start.

With warmth and clarity, Glenna Marshall makes in-depth Bible study accessible without diminishing the richness of God’s word. Verse-by-verse, Marshall guides readers through the full ESV text of James to aid their personal study, group discussion, teaching, and outreach. This short and powerful epistle imparts the wisdom of God, challenging readers to live according to what he has said and bear fruit no matter their circumstances. Each volume in the Conversational Commentary series includes an engaging introduction, historical and cultural background, key themes, and suggestions for deeper study.
