In this volume in the Word Biblical Commentary, Ralph Martin contributes to our understanding of faith and works, salvation and ethics, gospel and law. Grappling first with the letter's authorship, Martin argues that the epistle is the application of James's practical teaching to a later dispute in ancient Syria when Jewish and Gentile believers struggled to define their relationship. He shows that James's instructions on Christian ''wisdom'' make it an authentic word that needs to be heard today.

The Word Biblical Commentary delivers the best in biblical scholarship, from the leading scholars of our day who share a commitment to Scripture as divine revelation. This series emphasizes a thorough analysis of textual, linguistic, structural, and theological evidence. The result is judicious and balanced insight into the meanings of the text in the framework of biblical theology. These widely acclaimed commentaries serve as exceptional resources for the professional theologian and instructor, the seminary or university student, the working minister, and everyone concerned with building theological understanding from a solid base of biblical scholarship.
