Series: James
Grace and Works, James and Paul; how do we make sense of it?
May 15, 2022 | Mike Matousek
The grace that the apostle Paul talks about all throughout his letters seems as odds with James' straight-forward statement that "faith without works is dead." Many theologians over the centuries have struggled with the apparent contradiction. What does it all mean? How can we solve the apparent contradiction? What importance does any of this have for living out our life as followers of Jesus?

Series Information
The book of James is unlike most others in the Bible. It has been loved by many for its straight talk about faith, and it has been questioned and even marginalized by some for its apparent lack of grace and emphasis on the work of Jesus. Written by the brother of Jesus who himself was a key leader in the early church, this book "gets up in our business" and challenges us to practically live out what we believe in the real world that tests that faith at every turn. It's a book we all need to return to time and again as we strive to become better followers of Jesus.
