Sleeper's lucid exposition of James restores this often neglected
work to its rightful place in the Christian canon. Carefully
charting the verbal structures and argument of the letter, he
demonstrates that it is a coherent piece of moral teaching intended
to encourage the development of Christian character, not just a
collection of disparate maxims. As he guides the reader through the
letter's basic themes, Sleeper is attentive to its echoes in the
Old Testament, hellenistic-Jewish wisdom literature, and sayings of
Jesus (Q), as well as to its affinities with other Christian
writings. Moreover, he shows that the author's understanding of God
and of human nature provides a significant theological foundation
for practical wisdom about the Christian moral life.
