Is James 2 a Solid Defense of Protestantism? A Response to ⁨Michael Knowles and Read Choi

from The Least of These Podcast with Jayni Jackson · host Jayni Jackson

James 2 is one of the most contested passages in the entire New Testament. For centuries, it has been cited as the verse that finally disproves justification by faith alone—and many Christians are convinced the case is settled.But what if the problem isn’t James?In this video, we slow down and actually listen to James on his own terms. No shortcuts. No proof-texting. No importing other authors to do the interpretive work for him. Verse by verse, we trace the logic James himself lays out and ask a simple question: what kind of faith does James say saves?If you’ve ever been told that James refutes Protestantism—or if you’ve never been satisfied with the way this passage is usually handled—this is a conversation worth having.
