The letter of James, notes leading evangelical opinion maker and NT scholar, Scot McKnight has become the "ignored leader" of the New Testament. "In fact", McKnight continues, he is sometimes said to be part of the 'junk mail' of the New Testament" (McKnight: 2010, p.9).

While such a statement seems stark, it is indisputably true as one only need peruse the various New Testament theologies produced in the 20th century to see that this "towering figure in the earliest church" has been functionally consigned to theological "oblivion" despite our canonical affirmation.

McKnight, contrary to this pattern rightly recognizes that James was the head of the first and most influential Christian body of the earliest church holding enough power to be considered a rival with Paul in their ancient setting, revered as preeminent among the early church leaders (Gal. 2.9), and as McKnight states cleverly notes was the church's first pope (p. 12).
