The letter of James is much more than a 'New Testament book of Proverbs'. While it is true that there are some great statements in James that are good to apply to our lives, the letter is much more than just that. It is a bold call to care for the poor and marginalised in practical ways. It is a call to live a peaceful Christ-like life, in the midst of oppression. It is a call to be angry about injustice and poverty, but to stay Christ-like in our response. We are not to be 'like the world'. We are not to use violence in our fight against evil in the world.
