Abstract
A cohesive picture of the unique salvation world of the Epistle of James is achieved by taking the images of birth the author has provided that lead to a person’s death in 1:14-15 in order to fill in the mirrored images of 1:18 and 1:21 that lead to salvation. What emerges is a multi-generational allegory in which the union of a person with Desire births Sin who births Death, while the union of the Word of Truth (the gospel) with a person births a Christian who births Salvation. This allegorical conception of salvation helps provide a consistent framework for understanding the rest of the epistle. This is especially so with regard to the male identity of the Death pattern and the female identity of the Salvation pattern.
