Chunks: The Letter of James

Dig into the letter of James, one 5-10 minute CHUNK at a time! This show is entitled Working Faith.

The letter of James was written by the leader of the Jerusalem church: the brother of Jesus. In the early church, the letter was often criticized for not having the kind of theological content one would expect from an apostle like Paul, nor many direct references to Jesus. But it reads like a book of practical pastoral advice to believers who were struggling with worldliness in their attitude toward wealth and their behavior toward each other. James does not teach that salvation depends on works, but he does insist that true faith should be demonstrated in one's behavior.
