My fav quote to use against conservatives. They avoid this entire epistle like the plague. It's wild to read evangelical explanations of this condemnation of the rich which usually read like "it's not about all rich people, it's about these specific heathens who didn't pay their workers, don't worry"

It's doubly funny because the book of James is one of the main sources of the tension between the question of whether "works" (i.e. good deeds) have any bearing on salvation. The Protestant animosity towards the book goes back to Martin Luther who famously called it an "epistle of straw" and wanted it removed from the Bible
