This study uncovers significant structuring techniques in James
that prove to be beneficial in a number of ways. First, there
exists a coherent, discernible strategy in the letter as a whole.
Second, significant uses of inclusio, along with other transition
techniques, draw attention to important recurring themes. Third,
the quotation of Lev. 19:18 and echoes of the Shema (Deut. 6) occur
in significant structural locations suggesting that the double-love
command in the Jesus tradition (cf. Mt. 22:34-40) is a
hermeneutical key to the interpretation of the letter. The study
begins with an introduction to the research problem and its
significance for interpretation. Chapter one summarizes and
critiques past proposals of the structure of James. Chapter two
explains the text-linguistic methodology employed in the study that
is then applied in chapters three, four, and five. Chapter six
offers a proposed structure for the letter that consists of a
double introduction (1:2-11 1:13-27) joined by an overlapping
transition (1:12), a carefully crafted letter body (2:1-5:6) that
is bracketed by a major inclusio (2:12-13 & 4:11-12), and a
conclusion (5:7-20). LNTS
