| Summary: | Scot McKnight’s recent addition to the NICNT commentary series on the Epistle of James offers the reader the combination of a traditional historical approach to James with a provocative departure from standard, conservative socio-religions assumptions., The commentary positions itself not as an exhaustive critical commentary, but rather as a resource for pastors, preachers, and teachers working within the broader ecclesial communities. Accordingly, McKnight prefers to dwell on the biblical text (admittedly read from McKnight’s own particular viewpoint) rather than on the broader historical questions of date, authorship, and provenance that are often the focal point of recent scholarship on the Epistle. |
