Description :
As we seek to apply the teachings of Jesus faithfully, we must remain committed to understanding his Word accurately. Robert Solomon offers a helpful reminder when he writes, “In James, we clearly hear the voice of Jesus, and are therefore encouraged to listen carefully and take heed.”
The book of James strongly echoes and reinforces the teachings of the Lord. James carefully brings these teachings into focus, showing how they should shape the beliefs and practices of the church. These truths are meant to be recognized, treasured, and actively lived out, because they reflect God’s will for his people.
This book is a valuable resource for anyone who wants to read, study, and reflect deeply on the epistle of James. It may also be helpful for pastors, preachers, Bible study leaders, small group leaders, and others involved in teaching Scripture. It is well suited for both personal Bible study and group use.
Endorsement:
“To encounter the richness of the sermons of the Book of James you need not only a skilled biblical scholar but also a skilful and passionate preacher. Robert Solomon is one such person and in this book we encounter sermons which allow us to encounter Jesus today.”
Rev Professor David Wilkinson
Principal, St John’s College, Durham University, UK
“This book demonstrates how relevant the book of James is to contemporary Christians. It shows how the study of the Word can result in life lessons that challenge and inspire us and motivate us to follow the path of obedience. The fruit of careful and devout study of the Word is presented in language that lay persons can read and understand.”
