The Book of James

I am interested in your comments on the Book of James. As my study continues, I would like to assemble thoughts, ideas, creative presentation material for this difficult but rewarding study.

These two verses are the key to the book.

Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God. The Holy Bible : English standard version. 2001 (James 1:19-20).

For openers, be mindful of when this book was written, who it was written to, and the occasion of the writing. That bit of wisdom will help along the way. If we understand the author's audience, intent and the occasion for the writing, we will avoid pitfalls in our hermeneutics.

So, comments?
