And we see a community plagued by divisiveness and hypocrisy, with an emphasis on wealth and status. James pulls no punches addressing these issues, calling for a faith that shows itself in moral actions: in speech, in interpersonal relationships, in economic...

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.

It is generally accepted that the book was written by James, the leader of the Jerusalem Church, also known as James the brother of Jesus.
