This thesis represents a holistic approach to inner-biblical allusions. A method for analyzing allusions is developed and applied to the text of Jas. 3:1-12. I then consider how the proposed allusions should be communicated in modern translations of the Bible. Thus, apparent discrepancies in the text are resolved through recognition of James's allu...

... Regarding the second appearance of γένεσις genesis 'birth/genesis' in James, I (Pehrson 2002) have argued that Jas. 3 includes an extended allusion to Noah in the recreation episode of Gen. 9. If γένεσις genesis refers to the spiritual birth of believers, then this supports James's imperative ethics, especially since he promotes a righteous standard which he acknowledges is impossible for humanity to attain (3.8). ...

A longstanding debate continues regarding coherent structure in the Koine Greek New Testament Letter of James. I argue that multiple linguistic perspectives confirm the central theme of trust in divine grace and mercy as foundational to Christian behavior. Applying Lakoff and Johnson’s cognitive semantics theory to James, a faith-journey conceptual metaphor structures the life of faith according to the source-path-goal image schema with a born-of-grace conceptual metaphor reflecting the source. Using Longacre and Hwang’s discourse theory, I describe James in terms of discourse type, notional schemata, macrosegmentation, skewing, paragraph relations, verb/clause salience, and embedding. A prototype approach reveals James as a persuasive text with embedded hortatory and expository units. Movements of mitigation and intensification most clearly reveal the coherent structure within the text’s profile and peaks. The controlling theme is ultimately derived from the above investigations in terms of van Dijk’s theory of macrostructure.
