Sacra Pagina: JamesAuthor(s): Patrick J. Hartin\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Liturgical Press, United States\nImprint: Liturgical Press\nISBN-13: 9780814659755, 978-0814659755\nSynopsis\nIn his commentary on the letter of James, Hartin offers a unique approach toward understanding a much-neglected writing. Refusing to read the letter of James through the lens of Paul, Hartin approaches the letter in its own right. He takes seriously the address to the twelve tribes in the Dispersion\"" (1:1) as directed to Jews who had embraced the message of Jesus and were living outside their homeland, Israel. At the same time, Hartin shows how this letter remains true to Jesus' heritage. Using recent studies on rhetorical culture, Hartin illustrates how James takes Jesus ' sayings and performs them again in his own way to speak to the hearers/readers of his own world. \n\n Hartin examines the text, passage by passage, while providing essential notes and an extensive explanation of the theological.
