The Book of James

James is the book of faith and works, presenting a balance between these two Christian virtues. The purpose of this New Testament letter was also to comfort and encourage Christian believers who were going through severe trials and temptations at the time. In addition, there is a remarkable similarity between James’ teaching and Jesus’ personal teaching recorded in the Sermon on the Mount, as well as the wisdom contained in the Old Testament book of Proverbs. This new commentary by Kevin Conner unpacks many such insights from this inspired ancient letter.
