It is true that James is not a doctrinal treatise but an intensely practical manual for Christian living. Yet that does not lessen its value, since holy living and sound doctrine must not be separated. The book of James has been compared with the wisdom literature of the Old Testament because of its direct, pungent statements on wise living. James’s strong condemnation of social injustice has prompted some to call him “the Amos of the New Testament.”
