The Sermon on the Mount in James

March 17, 2017 by Brian

Porter, Virgil V. “The Sermon on the Mount in the Book of James, Part 1,” BibSac 162, no. 647 (July-Sept. 2005): 344-60.

This article contains a helpful chart of all the verbal parallels between the Sermon on the Mount and the Book of James. It also highlights shared topics: law, wealth and poverty, speech, prayer, trials, temptation, perfection, wisdom and folly, judgment, righteousness, people (this list is drawn from the article’s section headings). Part 2, which I did not read, covers parallels organized by the categories of systematic theology.
