Christian Faith Unveiled in the Epistle of James

About the Book

A study of the book of James will unveil some of the most practical Christian faith topics found in the New Testament. Truths are revealed in James concerning faith in action: • overcoming adversities, • personal spiritual growth, • sensitivity in personal relationships, • serving those around us, • using wisdom to control one’s tongue, and • using wealth in God’s service. The book was written by James, identified as the brother of Jesus Christ in Mark 6:3, to the twelve tribes of Israel which were scattered throughout the Roman Empire. Because these early believers did not have the support of established Christian churches, James wrote to them as a concerned leader and servant of God to encourage them in their faith during difficult times as they waited for the next coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.
