   • God is the source of all wisdom. The Greek word for wisdom (sophia) occurs four times in the letter of James (1:5; 3:13, 15, 17). Wisdom is not a topic or theme of the book of James, but it is an assumed value essential for Christian living and under which all the various topics of the book are subsumed.
   • Testing and trials. Our lives are full of trials. James understands the true goal of trials to be perseverance. And perseverance works toward spiritual maturity and wholeness, which James implies are worthy goals for Christians.
   • Wealth and oppression. Socioeconomic disparity, both in society and in the church, seems to have been a major concern in James’s mind as he wrote this letter.
   • Material things will not last. The poor, without material resources, have also received the riches of God’s grace in Christ. Furthermore, the rich and poor are alike in another way—both will pass away.

   Is James A good book?

   • Hypocrisy and black face feature prominently and seem to comment that even after the war things won't materially improve for black people. James is a remarkably nuanced book, with both black and white characters making morally ambiguous (to downright reprehensible) decisions.

   Is James based on a true story?

   • James is one of Everett’s more conventional novels in terms of plot, but it still contains vintage Everett tricks.
