James,

letter of the New Testament, traditionally classified among the Catholic, or General, Epistles. The James of its ascription is traditionally identified with St. James the Less. However, the name is more likely a pseudonym. The letter's diverse sayings and admonitions, some of which are recurrent, are interspersed with more lengthy discourses, e.g., on the relationship of faith and works, the need for curbing the tongue, and the danger of envy and ambition. There are many points of contact with sayings of Jesus recorded in the Synoptic Gospels—e.g., on oaths, on rich oppressors, and on loving one's neighbor. Martin Luther rejected James because it seemed to deny his interpretation of justification by faith and to argue instead that a person is justified by works. "Works" are faith in action, i.e., the expression of trust in God. For both James and Paul, loving one's neighbor fulfills the law. Scholars differ widely on the origins and date of the work.

James

 

In England:

James I. Born June 19, 1566, in Edinburgh; died Mar. 27, 1625, in Theobolds Park. King of Scotland (as James VI) from 1567; king of England and Scotland from 1603. First monarch of the Stuart dynasty to rule in England. Son of Mary Stuart.

James I ascended the English throne after the death of Elizabeth I, the last monarch of the Tudor dynasty. He attempted to secure for the king the right to govern the country single-handedly, without Parliament. His absolutist policy, however, increasingly clashed with the interests of the English bourgeoisie and the new nobility and led to a rapid growth of parliamentary opposition. The reign of James I was marked by a growing religious intolerance toward the Puritans, the introduction of new taxes and forced loans, irregular convocation of Parliament, and a rapprochement with Catholic Spain, England’s main rival in sea and colonial trade. K. Marx called James I’s rule the prologue to the English Civil War of 1642–52 (Arkhiv Marksa i Engel’sa, vol. 8, 1946, p. 95).

James II. Born Oct. 14, 1633, in London; died Sept. 5, 1701, in St. Germain-en-Laye, France. King of England, Scotland, and Ireland from 1685 to 1688. A member of the Stuart dynasty. Second son of Charles I; brother of Charles II.

James II pursued a feudal, absolutist, reactionary policy, and he strengthened the position of the Catholic Church in Great Britain. In 1685 he disbanded Parliament and assumed absolute power. In 1687 he issued the Declaration of Indulgence, which cleared the way for the establishment of Catholicism as the state religion. He removed Anglicans from the most important government posts and appointed Catholics to fill their places.

The opposition forces consolidated in reaction to James IPs policies and, under the pretext of protecting Protestantism, offered the English crown to James’ son-in-law, the stadtholder of the Netherlands, William of Orange. In December 1688, after William’s army had landed in England, James II fled abroad.
