Quoted index: BIBLEBOOKSUMMARY- JAMES:

http://www.holybible.com/resources/KJV_DFND/summary.htm:1 Adapted from sources found on www.holybible.com
kjv@James:1 JAMES - The author of this letter introduces himself as "James, a servant of God and the Lord Jesus Christ". Four men in the New Testament bore this name but the writer of this Epistle is usually identified with James who was the leader of the church in Jerusalem. The letter is addressed to the "the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad", and is the most Jewish in style and form of any of the New Testament books. It is not a treatise on Christian theology but rather a practical letter dealing with Christian ethics. James insists that works, not words, are the mark of a disciple.


Quoted resource: easton 'James'

easton:


James @ (1.) The son of Zebedee and Salome; an elder brother of John the apostle. He was one of the twelve. He was by trade a fisherman, in partnership with Peter kjv@Matthew:20:20 kjv@Matthew:27:56). With John and Peter he was present at the transfiguration kjv@Matthew:17:1; kjv@Mark:9:2), at the raising of Jairus's daughter kjv@Mark:5:37-43), and in the garden with our Lord (14:33). Because, probably, of their boldness and energy, he and John were called Boanerges, i.e., "sons of thunder." He was the first martyr among the apostles, having been beheaded by King Herod Agrippa kjv@Acts:12:1-2), A.D. 44. (Comp. kjv@Matthew:4:21 kjv@Matthew:20:20-23). (2.) The son of Alphaeus, or Cleopas, "the brother" or near kinsman or cousin of our Lord kjv@Galatians:1:18-19), called James "the Less," or "the Little," probably because he was of low stature. He is mentioned along with the other apostles kjv@Matthew:10:3; kjv@Mark:3:18; kjv@Luke:6:15). He had a separate interview with our Lord after his resurrection ( kjv@1Corinthians:15:7), and is mentioned as one of the apostles of the circumcision kjv@Acts:1:13). He appears to have occupied the position of head of the Church at Jerusalem, where he presided at the council held to consider the case of the Gentiles kjv@Acts:12:17 kjv@Acts:15:13-29: 21:18-24). This James was the author of the epistle which bears his name.

James, Epistle of @ (1.) Author of, was James the Less, the Lord's brother, one of the twelve apostles. He was one of the three pillars of the Church kjv@Galatians:2:9). (2.) It was addressed to the Jews of the dispersion, "the twelve tribes scattered abroad." (3.) The place and time of the writing of the epistle were Jerusalem, where James was residing, and, from internal evidence, the period between Paul's two imprisonments at Rome, probably about A.D. 62. (4.) The object of the writer was to enforce the practical duties of the Christian life. "The Jewish vices against which he warns them are, formalism, which made the service of God consist in washings and outward ceremonies, whereas he reminds them (1:27) that it consists rather in active love and purity; fanaticism, which, under the cloak of religious zeal, was tearing Jerusalem in pieces (1:20); fatalism, which threw its sins on God (1:13); meanness, which crouched before the rich (2:2); falsehood, which had made words and oaths play-things (3:2-12); partisanship (3:14); evil speaking (4:11); boasting (4:16); oppression (5:4). The great lesson which he teaches them as Christians is patience, patience in trial (1:2), patience in good works (1:22-25), patience under provocation (3:17), patience under oppression (5:7), patience under persecution (5:10); and the ground of their patience is that the coming of the Lord draweth nigh, which is to right all wrong (5:8)." "Justification by works," which James contends for, is justification before man, the justification of our profession of faith by a consistent life. Paul contends for the doctrine of "justification by faith;" but that is justification before God, a being regarded and accepted as just by virtue of the righteousness of Christ, which is received by faith.
