The activity of early Christian proclaimers is seen as the backdrop
for the Epistle's challenge to its readers to identify with God's
order or with the earthly patronage of the rich. The significance
of the Epistle of James within early Christianity, when not
neglected, has been disputed. In recent years the letter, and its
author, have received renewed attention, and this contribution to
the revival examines the way in which the author and his addressees
are depicted within the social world of emerging Christianity.
Edgar finds strong points of contact with the sayings of Jesus and
with early Christian itinerant proclaimers, who are often seen as
having been active in preserving and transmitting these sayings.
The Epistle challenges the shaky commitment of its readers to their
new allegiance, and, in the light of the coming of God's
eschatological ruoe, employs the model of patronage to lay out the
choice between loyalty to God and identification with the earthly
value system dominated by the rich.
