This Westminster‑style edition presents the Epistle of St. James with an introduction, paraphrase, and notes that address history, language, and interpretation. It prioritizes clarity for educated lay readers who read the Bible with care and reverence.
Inside you’ll find a thorough introduction that covers authorship, dating, audience, and connections to Jewish and early Christian life. The text is the Revised Version, paired with careful paraphrase and notes on difficult passages, doctrine, ecclesiastical life, and spiritual practice.
- Guided introduction on who wrote the letter and who it was written for, with historical context
- Plain paraphrase of the text alongside notes explaining tricky terms and ideas
- Discussion of key themes, including ethics, faith, and practical living
- Additional notes and index material to support study and reflection
Ideal for readers of biblical history and interpretation, students, and anyone seeking reliable, accessible insight into this New Testament letter.

Product Description
N preparing this edition of the Epistle of St J a/mes I have tried to keep in view the primary objects of the Westminster Commentaries, and the various classes of readers for Whom they are intended. During the passing of these pages through the press, the recent attacks upon the Epistle have received a prompt and vigorous reply from the veteran Professor, Dr Bernhard Weiss, of the University of Berlin. The force and firmness of this reply (to which frequent reference will be found) and the fact that it comes from a scholar of such eminence may well administer a rebuke to those English writers who apparently think that, in their inconsiderate objections to the traditional views of the Church, they may claim the support of every German critic of learning and status. It is a pleasant duty to express my most grateful thanks to Dr Lock for his many and valuable suggestions, and for his ungrudging care in the revision of the proofs.
