Authentic faith is never static; it is a relentless pursuit of practical holiness. We are pleased to announce the release of our latest comprehensive study suite, Introduction to the Epistle of James.This resource is designed to take you beyond a surface-level reading of the text and into a “microscopic overview” of the man, the message, and the mandate behind this foundational New Testament letter.
The Man Behind the Mandate
Before he was a pillar of the early Church, James was a skeptic living in the shadow of his half-brother, Jesus. It took a “merciful appearance” of the resurrected Christ to transform him. Known as James the Just, his life became a testament to the power of prayer and righteous conduct—earning him the nickname “camel knees” due to his constant intercession.
The Message: A Call to Action
While the Apostle Paul masterfully explains the root of our salvation (justification by faith), James focuses on the fruit. This study reconciles these two perspectives, demonstrating that while works can never save us, true faith will always produce them.
The Epistle of James is written in the style of exhortation—it is not merely a lecture to be heard, but a sermon to be lived. It challenges the believer to move from intellectual agreement to a living, breathing response to God’s grace.
