Part of really understanding the commentary is the vast use of ancient works that Dr. McKnight uses. I, admittedly, was not as familiar with the full suite of works that were used in this commentary. These include ancient Jewish works that are not biblical canon, but were prominent works at the time. There is also quite a bit of referenced, secular work that was prominent at that time, which includes works of Seneca and much more.I really enjoyed the continuity of the book, so much of James' thoughts seem to be fragmented, but Dr. McKnight connected everything well and showed a flow throughout the book. Another highlight of the commentary for me was the helpful explanation of the relationship between faith and works that is often so highly contested amongst Christians. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the best *by W***K on Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2011* This is one of the best commentaries on James, and likely the most lengthy. It gives a lot of background information and detail. McKnight holds the view that James wrote James and at an early date, so it's a pretty orthodox commentary. However, he really stays consistent to the idea that James is written to the Messianic community. Therefore, he departs from time to time from what one sees in a lot of other commentaries. As a result, you may find yourself pleasantly surprised occasionally in this work. Wouldn't it be disappointing if all commentaries said exactly the same thing?He spends a lot of time on James chapter 2 and the supposed contradiction between Paul and James on justification by faith. His material in this section is a little different than the typical view and is well worth reading. I was really impressed with the background information that he brings up here and there throughout the commentary, probably more than I've seen in other works on James.Moo (Pillar series) is probably more readable, but shorter. I'd like to give this commentary 4-1/2 stars, but they don't allow that here in the reviews. Mcknight's work on James almost merits a perfect 5, but there were some sections where after discussing all the options, he doesn't seem to mention which option he prefers and why.If you are looking for a pretty exhaustive commentary on James, this might be your best bet. For those who don't want such a massive work, Moo is the better purchase. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Latest scholarship by a top scholar *by J***Y on Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2020* You can't go wrong with this commentary series, and McKnight is one of the best in the field of New Testament scholarship who also cares deeply that the best scholarship serves the church and its leaders . Clear. Accessible. Insightful. Useful. McKnight is especially astute at bringing the Jewishness of James to the fore.
