Endorsement
"The evenness and quality of this series are remarkable." - CHRISTIANITY TODAY
"There simply is no series of medium-length commentaries that approaches the excellence of the Tyndale commentaries." - DONALD A. HAGNER, Fuller Theological Seminary
"Tyndale commentaries are always useful, not least because they focus so clearly on the text of Scripture, and do not fall into the trap of paying too much attention to other commentaries and not enough to the scriptural text they are intended to expound and explain. So they retain their usefulness for preachers, Bible study leaders and for all readers of the Bible." - PETER ADAM, Ridley College, Melbourne, Australia
"Within its constraints, this series includes some outstanding volumes." - D. A. CARSON, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School
"The Tyndale volumes have long been the premier shorter-length commentary series on both Testaments throughout the English-speaking world." - CRAIG BLOMBERG, Denver Seminary

Solid Exegetical Commentary:
Doug Moo offers a great exegetical and expositional commentary with the PNTC series offering on James. Well worth the buy, if you don't have a solid commentary on James. Nothing too crazy, and lots of compelling argumentation for his positions.

For me, as a preacher, if I am in the circumstance where I need something quick I am already in trouble. I like the Pillar Series. Not long ago I read of one's review that... more info
Highly readable modern commentary. Great for Pastoral use:
`The Epistle of James' by James B. Adamson, 1976, 227 pages in the series The New International Commentary on the New Testament; `The Letter of James' by Douglas J. Moo, 2000, 271 pages, a volume in the series The Pillar New Testament Commentary; and `James' by Ralph P. Martin, 1988, 240 pages, A volume in the series Word Biblical Commentary are all `full featured' and recent commentaries on the first of the short `catholic' epistles in the New Testament. I find it amazing how different the material is... more info
Great:
This is Moo's second commentary on the epistle of James. He wrote his first one in 1985 as part of the Tyndale series. This commentary is the result of fifteen years of reflection on that work. The content of this commentary makes it evident that this is the mature thought of a noted scholar on the letter of James. Those fifteen years left him more convinced "that the heart of the letter is a call to wholehearted commitment to Christ" (x).
Moo provides a lengthy introduction to this epistle (46 pages... more info
