1. Practically all our knowledge of James
comes from New Testament history.
Tradition supplies a few items of interest
concerning his life.
2. The word pentecost means “ ftieth.”
Pentecost was the Old Testament Festival of
Weeks (cf. Lev. 23:15; Deut. 16:9). The day
of Pentecost (Acts 2:1) fell on the ftieth
day after the passion Passover.
3. D. A. Hayes, “Epistle of James,” in The
International Standard Bible Encyclopedia,
3:1563. It should be observed here that the
book of Acts does not give much
information concerning James’s leadership
during those decades.
4. Ibid., 3:1567.
5. Diaspora is the Greek word translated
“scattered abroad” in 1:1. Persecutions,
dating back as far as the Assyrian captivity
(721 B.C.), and pursuit of commerce
accounted for most of this “dispersion.”
6. The word church does appear, however,
in 5:14.
7. Some hold to a late date on such grounds
as: James 2:14-26 was written to correct a
misinterpretation of Paul’s doctrine of
justi cation by faith, contained in such
writings as Romans (c. A.D. 56); and
references to persecutions t a late date
better than an early date.

New Testament, p. 277.
9. The two verses containing the name
“Jesus” are 1:1 and 2:1. The name “Lord”
occurs fifteen times in the epistle.
