James & the Q Sayings of Jesus




This work undertakes an investigation into the relationship of the Epistle of James to the traditions of early Christianity, namely the wisdom tradition and the Jesus tradition known as the Q source.
Part I investigates the relationship of James and Q to the wisdom tradition. A compositional analysis of the epistle reveals the role and importance that wisdom plays within the epistle. Wisdom plays an equally important part within the Q tradition and it is judged to be an important connecting link between James and Q. Part II examines the relationship of James to the Jesus tradition of the Q source. The chief concern will be a textual investigation of possible connections between James and the various Jesus traditions. Part III presents the results of the above investigation by situating James within the context of the world of early Christianity and relates the epistle to the development of the concept of wisdom in early Christianity.
As a consequence of the examination light will be shed on some of the more perplexing and disputed issues related to the epistle. The aim is to re-instate James to the position that it should hold as an important witness to the faith of the early Christian community and to the influence the teachings of Jesus exercise on it.
