Description
Book SynopsisFaith in Action in the Letter of James
Trade ReviewHartin is the leading authority on the Epistle of James, and it is important that he gives us in this new work insight into his understanding of this often neglected New Testament text.James M. Robinson, Director, Institute for Antiquity and Christianity, Claremont Graduate University
Hartin's insightful study enables us to recognize the plurality of our Christian tradition, which resonates the postmodern consciousness struggling with diversity and multiculturalism. This book is a good place to begin to understand the distinctive message of James' letter and a significant contribution to the ongoing scholarly discussion about the diversity and emergence of early Christianity.Risto Uro, University of Helsinki
This is an exemplary work, lucidly argued and attentive both to ancient sources and to modern exegetical opinion.John S. Kloppenborg Verbin, Faculty of Theology, University of St. Michael's College
Hartin presents James as an exciting witness to the beauty and diversity of early Christianity, and introduces readers to a James they never knew before.Leonard Doohan, Dean Graduate School, Gonzaga University
