   • Background. The Epistle of James is the most Jewish book in the NT. Except for two or three references to Christ, it would fit rather well in the OT. The life to which the epistle exhorts is that of a profoundly pious Jew who is fulfilling the law in every regard.
   • Unity. Opinions differ concerning the unity of this epistle. Some see no particular connection of thought in it (Jülicher, Introduction, p. 215). Various ideas of composite authorship have been suggested, often based on a core of materials coming from James in Jerusalem, perhaps in Aram., later rewritten in good Gr.
   • Authorship. The epistle, if not pseudepigraphic, must have been written by James, the brother of the Lord. Eusebius and Jerome mention the opinion of some in the Early Church that it may have been published by another under James’ name.
   • Date. Those who accept James the Just, brother of the Lord, as author of the epistle are obliged to date it before a.d. 62, the year of the death of James, between the governorships of Festus and Albinus.

   Of the 4 men named James in the NT, only two are candidates for authorship of this epistle. No one has seriously considered James the Less, the son of Alphaeus (Matt. 10:3; Acts 1:13), or James the father of Judas, not Iscariot (Luke 6:16; Acts 1:13). Some have suggested James the son of Zebedee and brother of John (Matt. 4:21), but he was martyred...

   The recipients of this book were Jewish believers who had been dispersed (1:1), possibly as a result of Stephen’s martyrdom (Acts 7, A.D. 31–34), but more likely due to the persecution under Herod Agrippa I (Acts 12, ca. A.D. 44). The author refers to his audience as “brethren” 15 times (1:2, 16, 19; 2:1, 5, 14; 3:1, 10, 12; 4:11; 5:7, 9, 10, 12, 1...

James wrote with a passionate desire for his readers to be uncompromisingly obedient to the Word of God. He used at least 30 references to nature (e.g., ...

   At least two significant texts challenge the interpreter: 1) In 2:14–26, what is the relationship between faith and works? Does James’ emphasis on works contradict Paul’s focus on faith? 2) In 5:13–18, do the promises of healing refer to the spiritual or physical realm?

   There are a number of ways to outline the book to grasp the arrangement of its content. One way is to arrange it around a series of tests by which the genuineness of a person’s faith may be measured. 1. Introduction (1:1) 1. The Test of Perseverance in Suffering (1:2–12) 2. The Test of Blame in Temptation (1:13–18) 3. The Test of Response to the Wo...
