Edited by David Platt, Daniel L. Akin, and Tony Merida, this new commentary series, projected to be 48 volumes, takes a Christ-centered approach to expositing each book of the Bible. Rather than a verse-by-verse approach, the authors have crafted chapters that explain and apply key passages in their assigned Bible books. Readers will learn to see Christ in all aspects of Scripture, and they will be encouraged by the devotional nature of each exposition.
 
Exalting Jesus in James is written by David Platt.

God’s Word, Your Guide

Augustine said, “Where Scripture speaks, God speaks.” The Christ-Centered Exposition authors agree. We believe the Word is God-breathed, authoritative and timeless, so we strive to handle text carefully and accurately. This devotional-style commentary series provides pastors with a practical application of God’s written word, exalting Jesus as the hero of every book.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Confidence in the truth and power of God’s written Word should prompt pastors and teachers not only to say worthy things about the Bible, but also to preach and teach with faithfulness from the Bible. The Christ-Centered Exposition series helps us to do just that. Theologically rock solid, this series is a clear, practical, and useful guide to the kind of biblical exposition that will please the Lord and build up his church.
 
Timothy George
Founding dean of Beeson Divinity School of Samford University and general editor of the Reformation Commentary on Scripture
 
 
There is nothing more helpful to a pastor than resources that are biblically faithful and pastorally applicable.  The Christ-Centered Exposition series hits the bull’s eye. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to understand the Scripture in its context in order to apply it in real life. 
 
Darrin Patrick
Lead pastor of The Journey, St. Louis, and co-author of For the City


David Platt, Tony Akin, and Tony Merida have launched a series that will give a rising generation of pastors a tremendous resource for seeing how all the Scriptures prepare for and proclaim the ministry of Christ. The pastoral focus, the preaching tools and the redemptive insights make this a series of immediate use and great aid to pastors who want to equip their people to serve the Lord in the joyous power of the gospel – rather than in the vain pressures of servile dread or slavish fear.
 
Bryan Chapell
President Emeritus, Covenant Seminary and Pastor, Grace Presbyterian Church


It's one thing to know Bible stories; it's another to know the story of the Bible. It's one thing to be aware of the story's many heroes; it's another to have met the Hero himself. From the Old Testament that anticipates him, to the Gospels that manifest him, to the Book of Acts that proclaims him, to the Epistles that explain him, and to the Book of Revelation that tells of him coming again, your Bible is about Jesus. That's why I love the vision of the Christ-Centered Exposition Commentary series. It models for preachers and teachers how to proclaim—with pastoral focus and exegetical care—the beauty of the gospel from every page of Scripture.

Matt Smethurst
Associate Editor for The Gospel Coalition

Few things are more important for faithful biblical interpretation than reading Scripture in light of its master narrative. The Christ-Centered Exposition series aims to do just that.  In a postmodern age, these commentaries provide pastors and lay people an invaluable resource that is unswervingly committed to the authority of Scripture and the centrality of the Gospel in the Bible’s storyline.

Dr. R. Albert Mohler Jr., President
The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary

I found this an extremely helpful commentary - particularly useful for preachers because it breaks down each section into excellent sub-headings; but also very easy and engaging to read so that a lay-person would also thoroughly enjoy it. David Platt manages to pack a lot of information into a relatively brief and very well-structured commentary. I highly recommend this book and this series.

I just would like to thank the authors and editors for launching this commentary series.
I boght the volume related to the book of James and started using it to teach "high-schoolers".
The commentary has been really helpful in identifying the main idea of the text and also how to apply it.
A lot of the hermeneutic work has been done which helps to save a lot of time in lesson preparation.

I have just taken a hermeneutics class in seminary and can see a lot of things I learned being applied in a practical way in this commentary.
Also, it is easy to read without lacking key information about the text and context.
I believe the authors achieved their goasl for this series, based on this initial experience of mine with James.
Once again, thank you for your contribution in equipping believers to better serve our Lord Jesus Christ.

This is not a word for word exhaustive study of the Greek text and alternative interpretations but a kin to a series of sermons on the book of James. With that expectation I found this encouraging and 'Christ-exalting'

I think in the forward or preface Platt mentions that this is a resource aimed at pastors, but I used it as a personal resource for the study of James. It took me deeper into the text than I would naturally go. I'll probably use other books in the series the same way.

Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2015

Like all of David Platt's writings,he challenged my faith, to live in obedience to God. The Church talks too much and does to little to help the least among us.
I am convicted by this book, this is the challenge I need to answer, the church needs to answer. If the truths taught in this book doesn't change you, there may need to be a examination of your faith. Faith without works is dead.
