Exploring the Connections Between James and the Sermon on the Mount

Is there a contradiction in the Bible between James and Paul? In this compelling episode, Lisa Fields and scholar Hakeem Bradley dive into the often misunderstood tension between James’ call for “faith and works” and Paul’s message of “justification by faith.” They explore how context, audience, and intent shape each writer’s theology—and why pitting them against each other misses the point. This is a must-watch for anyone wrestling with how scripture fits together, what real faith looks like, and why James deserves more respect in modern theology.
