James |
 The Epistle of James is a book in the Christian New Testament. The
author identifies himself as "James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus
Christ", traditionally understood as James, son of Alphaeus.
Framed within an overall theme of patient perseverance during trials and
temptations, the text condemns various sins and calls on Christians to be
patient while awaiting the Second Coming.
The epistle has been the subject of controversy. The Protestant reformer Martin
Luther argued that it was not the work of an apostle,[1] Roman Catholicism[2]
and Eastern Orthodoxy[3] claim it contradicts the doctrine of justification
through faith alone (Sola fide), a doctrine which Luther derived from his
translation of Romans 3:28.[4] The Christian debate over Justification is still
unsettled, see also Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification, Biblical
law in Christianity, and New Perspective on Paul.
