''See also:'' [[Martin Luther]]
[[Martin Luther]] had difficulty with the Epistle of James as it did not easily fit his concept of ''justification by faith alone'' as James also seems to stress the importance of works. Nevertheless, he kept it as a part of the New Testament canon in [[Protestant]] Churches. Luther's tirade against James' Epistle parallels contemporary slanders propagated by apostate Protestantism which brands any emphasis on law-keeping alongside faith as "legalism" and "denying grace."
