Summary
The commentary attempts a thorough philological and historical interpretation of the Greek text of the Epistle of James. The author argues that it is not a genuine letter from James, the brother of Jesus, but a pseudepigraphon dating from the end of the 1st century AD. He claims that it is a well-organized piece of literature based on a distinct theological conception. Its purpose is to enjoin feeble Christians to live up to their supernatural status as first-born creatures of God and not to forego admission to eternal life.
