„Ha az Úr akarja és élünk…” (Jk 4,15) A dicsekvés bűne és kiváltsága a Jakab-levélben
“If the Lord Wills, We Will Live…” (James 4,15). Th e Sin and Privilege of Boasting in James’ Letter

Summary/Abstract: In the last twenty-some years of Jamesian research there has been an increasing focus on issues concerning poverty and wealth. Generally, there are three main constructions in the literature of this topic. As a starting point, this study argues that this particular conflict of the Early Church presented by James is not so much between actual social groups (“poor” and “rich”), but rather between Jesus’ ethos about poverty versus the reality of the Roman society, and thus is more religious or ideological in its nature. This paper provides a deeper 145 understanding of the conditio Jacobaea (4,15). It presents a focused history of research on, and an outline of, the close relationship between the Jesus-tradition and the Letter of James, and also an analysis of the identity and cultural context of partiality (προσωπολημψία) in the Chapter 2 and of boasting (καυχάομαι) in Chapters 1 and 4.
