For over 500 years, theologians have fought over the relationship between faith and works in James 2. But what if both sides are wrong? Roman Catholics say works must be added to faith to secure eternal salvation. But Westminster-Calvinists (and most Evangelicals) say real faith always produces works. James says neither.
In Why Do the Demons Tremble?, Dr. Fred Ray Lybrand Jr. presents a historically unprecedented third reading of James 2:14-26. Working strictly from the text, logic, and the language of James, he demonstrates that the faith/works debate has been asking the wrong question for centuries. James is not addressing eternal salvation. He is addressing the already-saved believer who faces a very different judgment before God...and a very different kind of failure they can avoid if they take James’s words to heart.
This book will challenge what you thought you knew about faith and works. It will also set you free to embrace the everlasting assurance you have already been promised.
Why Do the Demons Tremble? asks and answers a simple question, "What if James simply means what he says?"
