Living Out Real Faith in the Book of James with N. T. Wright
In every generation of the church, there are people who just glide along, seeming to enjoy what they hear in church but without it making any real difference in their lives. James faced exactly the same problem in the very first generation. It's not surprising that making sure faith is the real thing by translating belief into action is near the heart of his message.
That kind of faith, he explains, isthe faith that matters, the faith that justifies, the faith that saves. We need that kind of faith today. These nine studies on James's impassioned New Testament letter will help you live out a faith that makes a difference.
This nine-session Bible study features:
- An introduction to the book of James
- Commentary notes on difficult passages
- Discussion questions to inspire group conversation
- A leader's guide and suggestions for gettingthe most out of the study
