James an Old Testament Book

Jacob Hantla

I was reading the description of the ICC commentary on James and noted that it is described as an "Old Testament Book"

"This new volume on James brings together all the relevant aids to exegesis—linguistic, textual, archaeological, historical, literary and theological—to enable the scholar to have a complete knowledge and understanding of this Old Testament book. Allison incorporates new evidence available in the field and applies new methods of studies. No uniform theological or critical approach to the text is taken."

James 1:18  "Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first-fruits of his creatures."

But this is not  Old Testament statement.
