NienhuisWaco, Tex. Baylor University Pressc20071 online resource (284 p.)Description based upon print version of record.9781602583405 1602583404 9781932792713 1932792716 Includes bibliographical references (p. 239-258) and indexes.Introduction -- A canonical history of the New Testament Catholic epistle collection -- Early James traditions and the canonical letter of James -- Reading James as a canon-conscious pseudepigraph -- Conclusion.Not by Paul Alone explores the historical reasons for the creation of the book of James and the implications for the creation of the Christian canon. Nienhuis makes a compelling case that James was written in the mid-second century and is, like 2 Peter, an attempt to provide a distinctive shape to the emerging New Testament. This book bolsters the claim that the Catholic Epistles not only have a distinct witness individually, but that collectively they are also a considered theological agenda within the Christian church. 227/.9106Nienhuis David R.1968-1814476MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910974690703321Not by Paul alone4368404UNINA
