Good points about how James relates to oppressed communities, with some interesting reflection questions at the end.

I had to use this book for a monthly women's group, and I have to say that I did not enjoy it very much at all. I found the author to be preachy, and her way of politicizing virtually every topic discussed was too much even for a confirmed rabble-rouser like me. I like authors to have an individual perspective and clear voice, but Elsa Tamez is just too shrill.

I liked it a lot more than some of the other theology I've read. I think she makes arguments that should really shake Americans and our understanding of our place in the world. She basically makes the argument that it's not okay to be rich and that within the church we should question wealth essentially like wealth itself is a sin. I don't really disagree with her, but I've always found myself a bit outside of the mainstream as church goes, even in a very, very liberal congregation.
