The Book of James

Known in history as James the Just, the author of this biblical book was one of the most pivotal figures in the early church. As a devout Jew and Christ follower, James’ deep appreciation and empathy for the traditional Jewish customs and laws were balanced by his understanding of the needs found in non-Jewish believers.
