A Practical Exposition of the Epistle of James

Thomas Manton (1620-1677)

Thomas Manton's verse by verse exposition of the Epistle of James, delivered as weekly lectures to his congregation at Stoke Newington and first published in 1653. Working through the whole epistle a verse at a time, Manton draws out the practical doctrine of each text and presses it home with the searching, experiential application for which the Puritans are known. Long regarded as the finest commentary on James in the English language, it unfolds the epistle's teaching on trials, faith and works, the tongue, worldliness, prayer, and patience with a pastor's care for the soul.
