The Women's League S.O.A.P. Study - The Book of James
Written by the brother of Christ, the book of James is thought to be one of the earliest of the New Testament writings. Although James at first did not believe that Jesus was truly the Son of God, he was one of the select individuals to whom Christ appeared after His resurrection. James went on to become an important leader in the church and was martyred C.A.D. 62. The study will examine this letter, written to some of the first Jewish Christians.
