In his commentary on the letter of James, Hartin offers a unique approach toward understanding a much-neglected writing. Refusing to read the letter of James through the lens of Paul, Hartin approaches the letter in its own right.

Mon secondaire s'est poursuivi ainsi, entre quelques blondes, des amis, les compétitions de natation et les jeux vidéo. Sans que je me pose trop de questions.
