James: Faith That Works (Redesign)
Is faith about belief or action? Is it about both? How does faith inform the trials we experience in life? And in those trials, how do we become mature?
The epistle of James enlarges our practical understanding of true faith as a faith that works. Not only that, but James also shows us the road to maturity and helps us through the many difficulties we experience in the Christian life.
Pastor Kent Hughes combines careful exegesis with relevant examples and application as he walks us through major themes in the book of James such as:
- Faith
- Wisdom
- Hardship
- Endurance
- Humility
- Grace
Ultimately, this study shows us how to have a living, fruitful faith in a fallen world—faith that results in a "harvest of righteousness."

Endorsements (${ productEndorsements.length })
Im delighted to endorse the philosophy behind this series. Here sounds out the voice not of the scholar in the study but of the scholar in the pulpit. The authors are all able teachers who regularly expound Gods living Word to his people. May this rich material give us patterns of preaching that will not only feed the flock, but, by Gods grace, change the church.

For this outstanding series of expository commentaries, Kent Hughes has assembled a team of unusually gifted scholar-preachers. The series will be widely used and much sought after.
Eric J. Alexander
Retired Senior Minister, St. George's-Tron Parish Church, Glasgow, Scotland
It is a pleasure to commend this series of homiletical commentaries. They fill an enormous vacuum that exists between the practical needs of the pastor/teacher and the critical exegetical depth of most commentaries.
Walter C. Kaiser Jr.
President Emeritus and Distinguished Professor of Old Testament and Ethics, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary
Throughout the Christian centuries, working pastors have been proving themselves to be the best of all Bible expositors. Kent Hughes stands in this great tradition, and his exciting expositions uphold it worthily.
J. I. Packer
Board of Governors' Professor of Theology, Regent College
There is a long history of informed, edifying biblical expositions that have been mightily used of God to shape and strengthen the church. These volumes admirably fit this tradition.
D. A. Carson
Research Professor of New Testament, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School
"The single best resource for faithful biblical exposition available today. A great boon for genuine reformation!"
Timothy George
Dean, Beeson Divinity School, Samford University
This series resonates with the priorities of the pulpit. No academic aloofness here, but down-to-earth, preacher-to-preacher meat for Gods people.
