James wrote to Christians whose faith was under attack. Persecution, false teachings, and loveless actions were troubling God's baptized people.

Things have not changed much for the church in these latter days. Though Luther referred to this letter as "an epistle of straw," James gives much wisdom to Christ's troubled bride.

In his foreword to Finding Christ in the Straw: A Forty-Day Devotion on the Epistle of James, Robert M. Hiller writes "[Martin] Luther felt that this letter lacked the focus on the person and work of Jesus Christ to warrant much of his energy. Straw has its benefits but is not all that useful in the long run."

However, these forty devotions, based on James, will both challenge and comfort you, while showing you Christ in the straw.

Reading Hebrews and 1 Peter from Majority World Perspectives
<b>The contributors to this volume offer a bold re-reading of Hebrews and 1 Peter from the perspective of the Global South</b>. The chapters provide enriching new hermeneutical and theological insights, revealing facets of the text that may not at first be apparent to readers within a Eurocentric context.<br/> <br/>The volume is thus able to explore topics ranging from the authorship of Hebrews in the Ethiopian Orthodox tradition and the Batak reading of Christus Victor, to a Xhosa perception of the solidarity and sacrifice of Jesus, and intercultural readings of Christian identity in the context of persecution. With an introduction and final response by scholars from the Global North, this volume encourages awareness of how the Global South contributes to world Christianity.
