This is a helpful word in the study of James' epistle. In addition, it is obvious that McKnight has taken this subject seriously as nearly each page is a treasure trove of bibliographic resources. He has read widely and engaged thoughtfully with scholars and theologians of nearly every confession.
But, I did not feel that this commentary was overly technical or difficult to understand. McKnight intended for his commentary to be of use to to pastors and students. I found it to be quite helpful. Most of the contributors are able to walk the line of scholastic interaction and pastoral accessibility. I was not required to furnish a positive review. Large And Thorough By Derek Newbery McKnight writes over pages of pure commentary in this book and in doing so is able to provide the reader with a deep understanding of the text of James.
His strengths are his comparative literature work in which he points the reader to other Jewish, Christian, Greek and Roman texts which enlighten the message of James. A second strength is his look at the outlines which various commentators have given to the Book of James in his introduction. He looks at 10 different commentators and in doing so shows the wide variety of opinions on the structure of the Book of James.
McKnight himself, sees issues of wealth and poverty as a unifying theme throughout the book. This theme both informs and influences McKnight's understanding since he sees this at work behind the scenes of all passages. He also sees the message pointed to teachers as much lengthier than most commentators.
One aspect of this commentary which was the least helpful was its size. At pages of commentary it takes much more time and energy to work through then nearly any other book on James.
If you want to find an exhaustive commentary this may be it but if you are crunched on time this would not be the best option. Ladd, G. McKnight, S. Minear, P. Newbigin, L. Osiek, C. MacDonald et al.

Pastors, teachers, and lay people alike will cherish the truth found in this commentary series. With extensive research and thoughtful chapter-by-chapter exegesis, Moo leads readers through all aspects of the book of Galatians--sociological, historical, and theological--to help them better understand its meaning and relevance.
As with all BECNT volumes, this commentary features the author's detailed interaction with the Greek text and an acclaimed, user-friendly design. It admirably achieves the dual aims of the series--academic sophistication with pastoral sensitivity and accessibility--making it a useful tool for pastors, church leaders, students, and teachers.
