014. James: The Gospel Before the Cross?

Understanding the complexities of biblical texts like the Epistle of James can be as challenging as it is enriching. This New Testament book has often been a source of both inspiration and debate, particularly regarding its themes of faith, works, and the interplay between the old and new covenants. The recent episode of the Waking Up to Grace podcast offers a fresh perspective on this ancient text, proposing a theory that places James's writings in the period of Jesus's earthly ministry, a time governed by the old covenant.

• Topics: When was James letter written, was James written before the cross, James does not mention the cross or resurrection,  faith without works is dead, be doers of the word, Book of James, James Letter, to the twelve tribes of Israel, sermon the the mount, law based repentance.
