Chris Vlachos aims to close the gap between grammatical analysis and exegesis, leading readers into an in-depth understanding of the Greek text of James by guiding them through an exegetical outline, phrase-by-phrase grammatical analysis, and homiletical suggestions. Every clause is laid out, the syntactical options are named, and the exegetical decisions are shown rather than assumed.

This is the second volume in the Exegetical Guide to the Greek New Testament, a projected series of twenty that seeks to bring together classroom, study and pulpit by giving the student or pastor the information needed to understand and expound the Greek text. It presupposes a year of Greek and rewards anyone trying to keep the language in working order. Includes a bibliography and suggestions for preaching the letter.
