If you think James has the opposite view of Paul on faith and works, you have a surprise coming. Both of them are deeply rooted in the Torah, and both of them expect genuine faith to bear fruit in Christian conduct. In fact, they both look at Abraham as the Old Testament example.
Let’s try to get our heads around this important tension so we don’t miss what either New Testament writer is saying.
