Easy to Use. Skips a lot of stuff.

After just finishing a one-year study of James, using 5 different commentaries extensively, I found that Richardson's commentary was very useful expositional commentary. There are some sections which are really good, really enlightening, and relatively thorough (although his goal in this commentary was not to deal thoroughly with every nuance of the text). However, other sections, for no identifiable purpose, he simply fails to comment. I found this extremely frustrating, but I could work through it. His introduction to the book and his exposition of the middle of chapter 1 (enticement by his own desires) was particularly helpful and well written.

Nevertheless, because of the inconsistency of his commentary (spending tons of time on one portion of a verse and literally ignoring another) makes this one of my least favorite of my acceptable James commentaries. In my opinion, you may want to look into Moo's (0802800793), Kistemaker's (0801020808), and/or MacArthur's (0802409008) Commentaries.
