Question

Along with Malachi, scholastic authors find evidence for divine immutability in this book’s claim that in God “there is no variation or shadow due to change.” Catholic exegetes find evidence for one sacrament in this book’s instruction to “pray over” one (15[1])who is sick, “anointing him with (15[2])oil in the name of the Lord.” In a feisty passage, this book exhorts the rich to “weep and howl (15[1])for the miseries that are coming upon you.” (15[1])This book rhetorically asks, “You believe that God is one?” but continues “Even (*) demons believe—and shudder.” This book was called an “epistle of straw” by Martin (10[1])Luther, (10[3]-5[2])whose doctrine of justification by (10[1])faith alone is often opposed by citing this epistle’s explicit claim that “a man is justified by (10[1])works and not by faith alone,” since “faith without works is dead.” For 10 points, name this New Testament epistle attributed to a “just” brother of Jesus. ■END■ (0[6])
