Excerpt from The Epistle of James: Practically Explained
Since now the mode of development is so dif ferent in the two cases, so also will be the form which faith assumes in each. To the one, the new state to which he has attained will seem but as the aim and completion of that earlier one, which by many progressive steps conducted to and ended in it; and that earlier form of life, out of which he passed into this new state, will always remain to him a dear and familiar one. To the view of the other, the new state will present itself as in direct opposition to the old. These two forms of concep tion are both founded in truth; each will, in its peculiar manner, contribute to the gio'y and fur therence of Christianity. The first is especially adapted to show, how all that preceded this new state was designed to prepare the way for. It; and here the change will manifest itself in a less stri king form. The second is certainly the more thor ough and profound, - presenting a more complete development of the new life in its essential nature, in which it is exalted above all else.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book continues the series of biblical expositions arranged by a translator who presents the second part of Neanders Practical Expositions with as much skill as the well-received translation of the Epistle to the Philippians. It explores the second volume of Neanders series, The Epistle of James, discussing the character and teachings of James the brother of the Lord, in relation to Paul the Apostle, providing a fuller understanding of the development of the Christian Church. The author provides a commentary on the epistle using the same depth of scholarship seen in previous volumes, which helps to build on the truths of justification through faith, illuminating them from a different angle. The letter is positioned as a counterpart to the great Apostle of the Gentiles, giving readers an in-depth understanding of the faith's early development.
