Martin Luther, who detested this letter and called it “the epistle of straw,” failed to recognize that James’s teaching on works complemented—not contradicted—Paul’s teaching on faith.
Hindi nagustuhan ni Martin Luther ang aklat na ito at tinawag niya itong "epistle of straw," dahil hindi niya naunawaan na ang katuruan ni Santiago ay sumusuporta - hindi komokontra sa katuruan ni Santiago tungkol sa pananampalataya.
