James–Part 3–James 2:14 (cont.)

Welcome to Grace in Focus Radio. Currently, we are in a series where we explore the different meanings of the word “saved” by looking at five books in the new testament. Today, we will hear Bob and Shawn continue to discuss James, giving special attention to 2:14. Martin Luther famously called the epistle of James an “epistle of straw;” this is, in part, due to his struggle to harmonize passages such as 2:14 with the rest of the new testament. Was Luther right? Should we just throw this epistle out and ignore it? On the show, we will hear the guys address this tough text, and hopefully shed some light on how to harmonize it with the truths found elsewhere in the bible. We hope you can join us as we strive to keep grace in focus.
