Why Can’t the Use of “Brethren” or ”Brothers” in James be Referring to a Jewish Relational as Brotherhood and not Necessarily Exclusively to Believing Brethren? Also: What is the Role of the Will in Believing?

Welcome to Grace in focus radio. On this episode, Bob and Shawn will be unpacking the terms “brothers” and “brethren” in the book of James. Do these terms refer to believers? Could these words simply be speaking to the Jewish relationship to James, rather than a spiritual brotherhood? The guys will discuss these issues. In addition, we will hear about the role of the will in believing. We hope you enjoy the discussion.
