| Summary: | This new work provides two divergent readings of James on the basis of plausible first-century audiences. The work demonstrates the relationships between literary and social criteria in James's work and provides enlightening information regarding the incorporation of diverse materials into the New Testament during the canonization process. Randall Webber's research looks at previous approaches to James and explores reading as socially conditioned. He discusses James as read by an early post-Pauline audience and by a Palestinian audience, and deals with the Christian transformation of the ideology of righteousness. In his conclusion, Webber discusses diversity and the canonization process. This work is an important contribution to James literature as well as to New Testament research in reader-response studies. |
