Description
Summary:Part I. James rediscovered: "in step with his brother". Evidence from the rhetoric of a primary witness -- An underdeveloped portrait in the narrative of Luke-Acts -- An honorary epistle -- Withholding the name of the disciple whom Jesus loved -- The legendary James the Just -- Part II. Paul under obligation: "as one untimely born". Awakening to the dawn of a new day -- Between James and Paul: pre-Pauline faith formulas embedded in Paul's letters -- The exercise of power in the sphere of Christ -- One diverse humanity "in Christ Jesus" (Gal. 3:26-29) -- Money from the nations for the poor saints in Jerusalem: more than "a polite bribe" -- Conclusion: the politics of James and Paul
Here V. George Shillington seeks to understand both James and Paul as Jews engaged in different but complementary missions and concludes that the tension between those missions indicates a conflict between different politics of identity.--Provided by publisher
