Introduction to James
One might called the Epistle of James, who was the brother of our Lord, not the apostle who was martyred early, the "Proverbs" of the New Testament. The OT book of Proverbs echoes through this epistle like no other. Like Proverbs, James deals in 'wisdom' and shows us where the rubber meets the road in practical discipleship. He was a man who cuts to the chase and tells it like it is. He makes it clear as crystal that faith detached from faith-driven obedience is no faith at all, but an impostor. He does not teach, as some have charged, salvation by faith plus works, but that faith, if genuine, obeys God out of faith.
