Book of James

The Book of James

The theme of the Book of James does not always appear to be obvious. Similar to a corporate board meeting which would address very diverse topics such as new construction projects, legal issues, hiring and firing policies, raw materials acquisitions, product development and political considerations, so James brings before his audience an array of topics that on the surface seem somewhat unrelated: Perseverance, Faith, The Tongue, Heavenly and Earthly Wisdom, Submission to God’s Will and Patience. Yet each topic pursues the goal of instructing the persecuted Jewish-Christian community in how to live their new life in Jesus Christ.
