Exalting Jesus In James (Christ-Centered Exposition Commentary)

The author brings out things to think about that I had never thought of before. He asked questions that really made you think and understand the scripture better. I have several of the commentaries of several books in the Bible and if I live long enough, I’ll maybe acquire all of them. They are a great help in studying the scriptures.

I just would like to thank the authors and editors for launching this commentary series.I boght the volume related to the book of James and started using it to teach "high-schoolers".The commentary has been really helpful in identifying the main idea of the text and also how to apply it.A lot of the hermeneutic work has been done which helps to save a lot of time in lesson preparation.I have just taken a hermeneutics class in seminary and can see a lot of things I learned being applied in a practical way in this commentary.Also, it is easy to read without lacking key information about the text and context.I believe the authors achieved their goasl for this series, based on this initial experience of mine with James.Once again, thank you for your contribution in equipping believers to better serve our Lord Jesus Christ.

Great break down on the book if james.

One of the best commentaries out there for personal study. It is in depth, but not so much that you get bogged down. It is written very well and it helps tremendously when studying scripture.

I found this an extremely helpful commentary - particularly useful for preachers because it breaks down each section into excellent sub-headings; but also very easy and engaging to read so that a lay-person would also thoroughly enjoy it. David Platt manages to pack a lot of information into a relatively brief and very well-structured commentary. I highly recommend this book and this series.

Since James is sometimes considered to be somewhat controversial, I found it made things a lot clearer. Very down to earth. Really enjoyed the study!!!

We did this as a small group study and loved it. Some of the questions are a little vague, but the study is very deep and brings out a lot of the message James was trying to explain. I plan to start another study soon using this same line of books.

Like all of David Platt's writings,he challenged my faith, to live in obedience to God. The Church talks too much and does to little to help the least among us.I am convicted by this book, this is the challenge I need to answer, the church needs to answer. If the truths taught in this book doesn't change you, there may need to be a examination of your faith. Faith without works is dead.
