Episode: 206 / The gospel of straw?
Description: Back in the 1500's, the book of James got in a lot of trouble with one of the key figures in the reformation, who called it a 'gospel of straw'. Why? Because of today's passage. At the core of the Christian faith is the idea that we're not saved by what we do, but by what Jesus has done. And yet James 2:14-26 seems to say the opposite — that works are essential to our salvation. How do we reconcile this critical tension? Chris unpacks this in today's episode.
