It is often claimed that our Christianity comes from Paul, rather than from Jesus and that Paul took it over and moulded it in his own image. This has been addressed previously, which compared Paul & Jesus and found no conflict, but only full agreement. Thus there is only one Gospel of Jesus Christ.
However, there is one aspect that still stands out. This is the stark contrast between Paul and James regarding faith and works. While this appears to be a major conflict that critics like to point out and use to try to discredit Christianity, Christians also have problems with it. The great reformer Martin Luther is famously quoted as calling James an “epistle of straw”, so what are we to make of it?
