James (Introduction) (Bible Study)

The Epistle of James: Faith Demonstrated Through Works and Practical Christian Ethics.
The Epistle of James, part of the General Epistles, is traditionally attributed to James, the Lord's brother and leader of the Jerusalem church. Written around A.D. 45–50, it emphasizes faith demonstrated through works, complementing Paul's teachings on justification by faith. James focuses on practical Christian ethics, urging believers to be doers of the word, not just hearers, highlighting that faith without works is dead. The epistle addresses faith's fruits in daily life, covering works, speech, worldliness, and warnings to the rich.
