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...

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.
