BACK OF JACKET COPY: St. James, the writer of the Epistle, was in a unique position to guide Christians in first century, and today, his letter is still applicable. An early skeptic that Jesus was the Messiah, even though he was Jesus' half-brother, James became the first bishop of the church in Jerusalem; and he appears prominently at the apostles' first council in Jerusalem and at Paul's return from his missionary journey (Acts 15:13-21; 18). James was one of the first to see the risen Lord (1 Cor. 15:7), and he was a powerful influence representing the "Jewish element" in the church of the Galatians (Gal. 1:19; 2:12). Also known as "James the Just," the author of this epistle was held in high admiration by both Jews and Christians because of his piety. In fact, his prayer life was so intense that he was called "camel-knees" because of callouses on his knees. When he insisted that Jesus was the Messiah, he was thrown off of the Temple parapet and then bludgeoned to a martyr's death with a fuller's club. Today, the Epistle of James is a favorite of Christians because of its directness, brevity, and practicality. In the face of trials, temptations and sufferings, James explains clearly how to live happily and successfully.
