It is only a few pages long. It can be read out loud in twenty minutes. It is very direct and extremely practical.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSeveral themes run through the Letter of James and make clear what his burden is. He writes about suffering and joy, riches and poverty, faith and works, the tongue and speech, and about wisdom and folly. In a word, he writes about the heart and life of the Christian believer.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eJames’ \u003cem\u003ebête noire\u003c\/em\u003e eschews false and hollow piety; pious platitudes are anathema to him.
