The Book of James is not a doctrinal book. James is a commentary on the Sermon on the Mount given by Jesus in Matthew Chapters 5 through 7. Everything that Jesus taught in the Sermon on the Mount is found in the letter of James.
The letter of James is made up of a series of tests by which the genuineness of salvation can be determined.
IV. DATE OF THE WRITING:
It was written around 45 A.D. Some even think it might be one of the first letters written in the New Testament, right after the persecution in Acts Chapter 7. Josephus the church historian tells us James was martyred in 62 A.D.
V. TO WHOM IT WAS WRITTEN:
James 1:1 tells us that James was written to the Twelve Tribes which were scattered. These were Jewish believers who had scattered outside of Israel because of persecution. This group is officially known as the DIASPORA. That's a Greek word that means scattering. They were the scattered ones.
So, all Jews who had to leave Jerusalem and Israel because of persecution, they are all called the Diaspora, even to this day.
