Summary: don't be confused
Comment: Doug Moo has written two seperate commentaries on the book of James. One is for the Tyndale New Testment series, while the other is for the Pillar New Testament Commentary.

The Tyndale one is much simpler, shorter, and most accessable for the average layperson. The Pillar (a blue cover) has much more depth, including usage of the original greek.

Some of the reviewers below are talking about the TYNDALE commentary and not the PILLAR commentary.

Capiche?

Summary: Excellect commentary
Comment: Basically I use this book as my resource of the Sunday school
class. The more I read it, the more I like it. Moo is very careful in tracing the meaning of the texts by examining the
Old Testament, extra-biblical literatures and the context. If some texts are controversial, he is very even-handed in handling different solutions and comes up with a reasonable conclusion.

The even more important thing is he does not only render good
exegesis but also provide some good applications in christian life. I feel very impressed by his insightful prospectives.

Great book!!

Rating: 4
Summary: Solid and informative
Comment: A good commentary that will get you familiar with the many different interpretations of James, but will ultimately supply you with a rock solid study. Especially good is his treatment of the "problems" people often encounter with James 2.

There are plenty of footnotes that refer you to other works for further study concerning some opposing views, though not by any means an overkill on footnotes.

I am using this text in my "General Epistles" class at Lee University (Pentecostal - Church of God - Clevland, TN.) It should be noted though that this is not an academic level commentary, but is designed for lay and clergy alike. Hard as it may seem, Moo was able to squeeze out 191 pages of commentary.
