The Scandalous Message of James: Faith Without Works Is Dead

by Elsa Tamez

Book Overview

Embedded in the New Testament is a five-chapter uprising known as the Epistle of James. This provocative, and often overlooked letter is the founding document of liberation theology--the theology that seeks to preserve Jesus' "preferential option for the poor." Now with a detailed study guide, this book can be used by Christians everywhere to study the radical message of James and reflect on what it means to be a true Christian.

Customer Reviews

An excellent book

The Scandalous Message of James is a great commentary by a liberation biblical scholar in Costa Rica. It is very insightful and is aware of the prevailing scholarship.
