James

The Crossway Classic Commentaries

by Thomas Manton

The republication of this exposition of James by Thomas Manton is timely and that for three good reasons.

- The first is the special relevance of this Epistle in the contemporary Church situation, with the constant danger of antinomianism.
- The second reason is that for a thorough exposition of 'this very practical book Manton's work still stands in a category of its own.
- The third reason is the excellent example of expository preaching which this book provides.

Excellent.

[Tim Merki · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a great commentary on the book of James even though the language is a little bit dated the material and content is phenomenal. A person would think that Manton was living in our day and age. If you are going to be preaching, teaching or just studying the book of James this is a must have for your book shelf.

As a resource for leading a Bible Study in my church, this volume has been invaluable. Manton has the Puritan '360 degree view' of the Scriptures. Verse by versehe gives exposition, then presents its significance and application in life, making sure that he has 'surrounded' the issues entailed.

A pastoral gem.

The kind of commentary that makes me regret not reading the Puritans earlier. Many wonderful spiritual slaps to the face that, if you let it, help you cherish ever deeper the abundant grace of God. No book has helped me see the flow of James so vividly (where others have compared it to other texts like Proverbs which does not have a clear structure at first glance).

One of the best commentaries ever written on Scripture. Highly recommend this one people.
