« James Summary (KJV) »

Pray for God’s Wisdom and Understanding,
In Jesus name we pray, Amen.

General Epistles,
(circulated to the churches at large)
James, 1st, 2nd Peter, 1st, 2nd, 3rd John, and Jude.

20. The Book of James, Chapters 1-5.
The author of this letter introduces himself as "James, a servent of God and the Lord Jesus Christ." Four men in he New Testament bore this name but the writer of this Epistle is usually identified with James who was the leader of the church in Jerusalem. The letter is addressed to "the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad," and is the most Jewish in style and form of any of the New Testament books. It is not a treatise on Christian theology but rather a practical letter dealing with Christian ethics. James insists that works, not words, are the mark of a disciple.

Thanking God, for teaching us his Word, In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
