Holistic Spirituality: Life Transforming Wisdom from the Letter of James

The book of James has gotten a bad rap amongst Christians especially modern protestants. Its often considered not as theologically serious as the writings of Paul nor as gracious as the gospels. For some its too works-oriented for others just a bit obscure. Some have even questioned whether it is truly a Christian book. Lets face it. Youre much more likely to see a seminary course on Romans or Galatians than on James or to hear a sermon for that matter! Bruce Epperly doesnt agree with that perspective. Not only does he think James has something important to say about the way we live as 21st century Christians just as it did for 1st century Christians but he also doesnt think James is in opposition to Paul. He suspects the two apostles would have had no difficulty with each others theology. In this third volume of the Topical Line Drives series he aims to direct readers to the important message of this little book for contemporary Christians. He provides a fresh orientation and focus to understanding the message. Once youve read his thoughts youll likely never read James in the same way again. Certainly you wont dismiss it.
