Every generation in the church worries, rightly, about people who just glide along, seeming to enjoy what they hear in church but without it making any real difference. James faced exactly the same problem in the very first generation. So it's not surprising that translating belief into action--making sure faith is the real thing--is near the heart of his message.

That kind of faith, he explains, is the faith that matters, the faith that justifies, the faith that saves. We need that kind of faith today. These nine studies on James's passionate letter will help you live out a faith that makes a difference.

Features

• Draws from N. T. Wright's popular New Testament for Everyone commentary series
• Uses popular inductive Bible study method
• Includes notes and comments from a world-renowned New Testament scholar
• Designed for laypeople and contemporary application of Scripture
