James

James, the half-brother of Jesus writes in his capacity as a pastor to encourage and exhort his people dispersed in the face of difficulties. The primary theme of the letter is on living out one’s faith, being a doer and not just a hearer of the word. Though our context may be different, every single lesson still applies today.
