James
The Epistle of James is the first in a group of epistles
often referred to by scholars as the General Epistles, which
includes James, 1 and 2 Peter, 1, 2, and 3 John, and Jude.
They are designated as general or “catholic” epistles in the
sense that they are universal, not being addressed to any
particular individual or church, but to the church as a
whole. The Epistle of James deals with the ethics of
Christianity, not doctrine. James deals with the practical
side of our walk as Christians, yet he does not get away
from the root of faith. James was evidently a very practical
individual. Tradition says that he was given the name “Old
Camel Knees” because he spent so much time in prayer.
Due to its practical nature, this epistle has been compared
to the Book of Proverbs and the Sermon on the Mount. James
argues that justification by faith is demonstrated by works;
if you truly profess to believe something, your actions will
demonstrate your profession. If you are saved, your life
will show it by your works (ch. 1–2), your words (ch.
3), and a rejection of worldliness (ch. 4-5).
