Jay A. Quine: The Epistle of James Written Between A.D. 44 - 49

The Epistle of James

Written Between A.D. 44 - 49

Facing persecution and imprisonment from Roman authorities, and severe opposition from Jewish leaders and former associates, the early Jewish Christians lost family and friends, position in society, their jobs, and their homes.  Combined with a severe famine in the land, many early Christians fled Jerusalem (cf. Acts 8:11-12).  James, the leader of the church in Jerusalem, wrote this letter to encourage those who had fled to persevere and live wisely by being doers of the word and thereby mature in faith.

Chapter 1  Persevere

James encourages those scattered to persevere in these  trials, knowing that if they do they will mature and ultimately be rewarded by God.  They should not be tempted to blame God for being tempted to sin and give up, because God is the giver of good things, especially of His word.

Chapter 2  Practice

They should not only hear His word but put it into practice in their lives by not showing favoritism to the rich, but to love all.  As was the case with their ancestor Abraham, their faith is also useless without works.

Jay Quine Speaks on Justification—to declare righteous or not guilty.

Justification—to declare righteous or not guilty.  

The speeding ticket.  Caught going too fast on radar, we may even admit to the officer our violation.  But what if, because of some legal technicality, our ticket is dismissed?  We are in fact guilty, but are declared not guilty.  On the basis of imputation of Christ’s righteousness to us, you and I are declared guilty.  It is called “justification.”  We know that a man is not justified by observing the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ.  Galatians 2:16   Feeling guilty about your sin?  Good.  Turn to Christ and be declared righteous. God will look at you through the cross where your sin was paid in full, so that even though in fact guilty, you are declared righteous.

Paul's Life After Being Released by Dr. Jay A. Quine

Paul's Life After Being Released by Dr. Jay A. Quine

In A.D. 62 Paul was released.  He first  visits those churches he wrote to while under custody in Rome.  Given the established sailing routes, he likely first went to Crete with Titus.  He did not stay long, but left Titus there to strengthen and continue to organize churches on that Island (Titus 1:5). 

From Crete Paul seems to have gone to Asia Minor.  After visiting Ephesus and sending for Timothy (who was in Philippi?) he went up the Lycus River valley to Colossae.  In the fall of A.D. 62 he met Timothy back in Ephesus, who informed him of the condition of the churches in Macedonia.  Thus, consistent with his plan (Phil 2:24)  Paul went to those churches (spring A.D. 63?) leaving Timothy behind in Ephesus.  From Macedonia Paul wrote Timothy (1 Timothy) that he would stay longer than expected (1 Tim 3:14-15, 4:13-16) and thus encourages Timothy to continue in the work.  While in Macedonia Paul also wrote to Titus (Titus).  He mentions that he is sending Titus some helpers, and that when they arrive Titus is to join Paul in Nicopolis where he was heading for the winter. 

From Nicopolis Paul leaves for Spain in the spring of  A.D. 64.  He returns to Ephesus (? early spring A.D. 68?) after Nero's rise to power, is arrested, transported to Rome.  He writes his final letter to Timothy (2 Timothy) asking him to come to Rome.  Paul is beheaded in the spring or early summer of A.D. 68.
