Verse by Verse through the Books of James and Philemon

, 2006

Overview

James exposes the fallacy of dead orthodoxy (profession of faith without producing results). Action must match profession. Right acting must go with right thinking and right believing. We cannot separate doctrine and practice. The theme is faith works. Philemon is Paul's intercession for a runaway slave to a slave master. This book shows how Christians can mediate and communicate between each other even in interpersonal difficulties.
