The Tests Of Faith

by J. Alec Motyer

In his basically practical letter written to those scattered throughout the early Christian world, James shows how a genuine faith is a tested faith; how encounter with difficulties is an essential part of the growth to Christian maturity. He speaks too of the control of the tongue; of concern for the needy and helpless; of a life of daily purity.

Illuminating little walk through of this epistle. I was particularly appreciative of the exposition of the “wholeness” of James, and showing how a theme was developing through the letter.
