| Summary: | Many older commentators understood James to be addressed to the Jews of the diaspora, whether Christian or not. Although few modern scholars have seriously reckoned with this possibilty, much is to be said for it, once James's character as a pseudepigraphon is recognized: James's purported audience — all the Jews of the diaspora — is as fictional as the author. This way of reading James makes sense of large parts of it that remain otherwise unclarified. Bien des commentateurs anciens ont supposé que l'épître de Jacques était adressée aux Juifs de la diaspora, chrétiens ou pas. Bien que peu de chercheurs contemporains aient sérieusement tenu compte de cette possibilité, elle a toutefois des atouts, une fois reconnu comme pseudépigraphe le personnage de Jacques : le public supposé de Jacques — tous les Juifs de la diaspora — est aussi fictif que l'auteur de l'épître. Cette manière de lire Jacques rend justice à de substantielles parties de l'épître, jusque-là non éclaircies. |
