What happens when the world leader of the Church has a problem with one of its most famous pastors? James and Paul could not have been more different; one was urban, academic and recently converted while the other was a carpenter from the country who'd known Jesus all his life. However, the Bible is big enough to hold both of their perspectives and this short study sets out to do the same, tracing James' issues with Paul's ministry as part of a larger conversation around faith. James saw huge potential in Paul's churches to dismantle systemic injustice and change the world, so he wrote a challenging letter that spoke to their potential and gave them practical steps toward maturity. Bold and unafraid to confront its readers, the letter of James presents a critical challenge to our lives today.
