In The Moral World of James, James Riley Strange compares the moral
system in the Epistle of James with other Greco-Roman and Judaic
texts. The author of the epistle prescribed moral practices in a
world in which other people, both pagan and Jewish, had long been
expressing similar concerns, and more would continue to take up the
task centuries after Christianity was well established in the Roman
Empire. In this fresh and thick analysis, Strange's systemic
comparison of texts (among them works of Plato, Plutarch,
Epictetus, and Aelius Aristides, as well as Greek Magical Papyri,
tractates of the Mishnah, and the Community Rule of the Dead Sea
Scrolls) reveals how James's vision of a distinctive way of
community life was both part of and distinct from the moral and
religious systems among which it emerged.
