For those interested in the Epistle of James it should be required reading. -- William R. Baker * Stone Campbell Journal, Vol. 13, 2010 * Mention -New Testament Abstracts, Vol. 53 No. 1, 2009 Mention - International Review of Biblical Studies, vol. 54:2007/08 ...Lockett makes a convincing case for his thesis. It should profit serious students of James. * Religious Studies Review, September 2009 * Whether it involves questions about the authorship of the letter of James or its peculiar theological assumptions or the social setting of its readers, recent decades have seen a surge of interest, even fascination, with the document. Based on his research at the University of St. Andrews, under the guidance of Ron Piper, Dairan Lockett has contributed a valuable monograph to the literature. Current and future students will need to stir his conclusions into the mix of the ongoing research. -- Duane Warden * Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society, 2010 *
