Few New Testament books have been as con­troversial and misunderstood as the letter of James. Its place in the canon was contested by some early Christians, and the reformer Martin Luther called it an "epistle of straw." The sometimes negative view of the letter among modern theologians, however, is not shared by ordinary believers. Well known and often quoted, James is concise, intensely practical, and filled with memorable metaphors and illustrations. As such, it has become one of the most popular New Testament books in the church. This highly original commentary on James by respected New Testament scholar Douglas Moo combines penetrat­ing scholarship with the simplicity of style and pastoral tone characteristic of James itself. After discussing such background issues as authorship, genre, purpose, structure, and theology, Moo provides a verse-by-verse exposition of the text that leads readers to the heart of James's message--wholehearted commitment to Christ. In addition to expounding the meaning of James, Moo also takes care to provide practical insights for applying that meaning in the church today. At once scholarly and accessible, this vol­ume has become a standard commentary on James. The second edition is based upon the newest version of the NIV and incorporates the latest scholarship. It has been expanded, updated, and revised throughout.

Paul's letter to the Romans has been called "the quintessence and perfection of saving doctrine." Perhaps the most challenging and thoroughly doctrinal book of the entire New Testament, Romans deals with many issues that are basic to Christian theology and practice. In this volume respected New Testament scholar Douglas J. Moo provides a superb study of Paul's letter to the Roman Christians and restates the enduring message of Romans for Christians today. Based on the English text but bringing into the discussion the underlying Greek at every point, this commentary focuses both on theological meaning and on contemporary significance. Moo contributes to the continuing debate regarding Paul's teaching on such issues as Jewish law and the relationship between Jews and Gentiles in the people of God. He also critically interacts with "the new perspective on Paul," highlights Romans's emphasis on "practical divinity," and traces the theme of gospel throughout the epistle. - Publisher.

Smyslem tohoto úvodu, jako všech úvodů, je nabídnout čtenáři informace, které je dobré znát, abychom mohli číst knihy Nového zákona s porozuměním. Podle soudobé terminologie je našim cílem poskytnout studujícímu zdroje k získání správné interpretační kompetence. Tato publikace by tedy neměla chybět v knihovně teologických fakult, jednotlivých sborů a farností, či v knihovnách teologů, filosofů, kazatelů a písmáků.

Douglas Moo se ve své eseji zaměřuje na jednu otázku, která je mezi křesťany hojně diskutována. I ti, kdo považují Bibli za autoritativní Boží Slovo, se rozcházejí v názorech na znění její odpovědi: Nakolik je Mojžíšův zákon závazný pro křesťana? Autor tvořivě rozvíjí teologii Martina Luthera, který odpověď na uvedenou otázku vyjádřil úsečně a jadrně: „Mose ist tod.“ („Mojžíš je mrtev.“) Živý je Ježíš. Toto však neznamená, že je Mojžíšův zákon pro křesťana bezvýznamný. V knize se dočtete, jaká byla role Mojžíšova zákona před Kristovým příchodem a jak může sloužit duchovnímu užitku křesťanů od založení církve až do současnosti.
