The Letter of James

Focusing on the epistle's relevance today, this commentary by Hart asserts that James of Jerusalem authored the Letter of James to address distortions of Paul's gospel and to guide churches back to Jesus' core teachings. It emphasizes the importance of orthopraxy, critiques the wealthy who exploit the poor, and warns against unqualified teachers. Central to its message is the idea that "faith without works [of love] is dead." Designed for educators and those seeking deeper discipleship, it serves as a timeless resource for meditative scripture reading.
