A bit dated, but solid. It was an excellent primary source of information, and I feel that France’s commentary strengthened it in some sections that it wasn’t quite as detailed. The commentary on the Last supper was a definite highlight; there were quite a few insights garnered from the stages of the meal that gave it much more significance to me.

I felt this was an excellent companion to Lane’s commentary. It seemed to me like France was very strong in sections that Lane was not as throrough, and vice versa. I was very happy that I had both of them, and I feel that I would have missed a lot of important information if I didn’t have both of them.

In my estimation, the best resource on the book of James in existence. This is likely the best commentary I have ever read, and that is saying something. This was a deeply enriching and sanctifying read. It is quite unfortunate that the book was pulled due to plagiarism, as the information contained in its pages is, in my estimation, priceless. If you have a way to get your hands on a copy, I recommend you do so.
