A feature of the Epistle of James is his list of instructions for Jewish people which gives his work a different flavor to Paul's writing for Gentiles. For example, he stresses the necessity of good works while also addressing the issue that works themselves are not enough. James also conveys the deity and Lordship of Christ.
There is a book of James in the bible.
Had this letter been written by James, the brother of Jesus (as some maintain) or by the apostle James, the writer would have designated himself as such in the epistle. However, James 1:1 only describes James as a servant of the Lord Jesus Christ. Although there are many echoes of Gospel sayings in this epistle, there is not even a general reference to Jesus as a teacher to be found. Martin Luther rejected the Epistle of James as apostolic, calling it worthless and an "epistle of straw". The epistle deals with moral issues, rather than Christian doctrine or the needs of the Christian Church. It could have been an early proto-Christian letter or, alternatively, a much later work intended to combat 'heretical' (gnostic) ideas within the early church.

A:We do not really know who wrote the Epistle of James. In fact some of it could even be pre-Christian. The teaching of the letter is not about the Christian faith, but about the importance of living a moral life.
