Is the Epistle of James ignored in by Evangelicals? [View all]
I'm not a Christan anymore, but when I was, I loved the Epistle of James. It is my favorite book of the Bible. I love quoting it to right-wing Christians, especially the part where James tells the wealthy their money will be a testimony against them on the last days. However, it seems to me that a lot of evangelical churches ignore it. I used to be Catholic and they seemed to at least try and follow that Epistle with their support of labor rights and belief in faith and works, but I've noticed a lot the Evangelical churches aren't very fond of it. I'm just curious if anyone else has noticed that?
My personal theory is that James's defense of the poor and attacks on the rich are too at odds with the right-wing worldview espoused by the majority of Evangelicals. Has anyone else noticed this or am I completely off base here? Oh, and any other James fans out there?
