Study Note
The letter's self-identification — 'James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting' — deliberately echoes the form of a diaspora encyclical, addressing Jewish believers in the dispersion using the traditional 'twelve tribes' framework. The dual identification 'servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ' places the author within both the Old Testament prophetic tradition of divine 'servant' (ebed Yahweh) and the emerging christological confession. The 'twelve tribes scattered abroad' may refer to Jewish Christians dispersed from Jerusalem after the Stephen persecution (Acts 8:1; 11:19) or to the church understood as reconstituted Israel in diaspora. James's strong wisdom tradition, its social ethics, and its proximity to Jewish paraenesis have made it a vital point of contact in Jewish-Christian dialogue and in discussions of the letter's provenance.
