Dunn) The Historical Jesus in Recent Research. He also writes the award-winning Jesus Creed blog at patheos.com.
"Scot McKnight has written a very readable, evangelical commentary
on James. While covering the traditional bases and literature, he
also includes a number of new readings of the data that make his
work fresh and intriguing. This book will be viewed as a standard
evangelical work that needs to be consulted in any future work on
this letter."

St. Stephen's University "A readable and carefully organized
commentary packed full of concrete insights. McKnight brilliantly
blends the best thoughts of earlier scholarship with innovative
thinking, and he remains sensitive throughout to both ancient
context and his modern audience."
-- Craig S. Keener
Palmer Theological Seminary "Readers will find in Scot McKnight's
learned and well-written commentary rich insights acquired through
many years of investigating the life, leadership, and theology of
James the brother of Jesus. Again and again McKnight breaks new
ground, correcting old misconceptions and throwing new light on
important issues."
