James and 1,2,3 John

This is a phrase-by-phrase commentary and exposition of the New Testament books of James and 1,2,3 John.  This commentary is in use as a college textbook, yet is suitable for the lay church member. James and 1 John are written as epistles to Christians in general (i.e., not as letters to a particular church in Rome or Ephesus).  Both were written by apostles we encounter often in the pages of the New Testament; both are men who played large roles in the life of the early Church.
