Greetings Dixie! The "Summarized Bible" or "Complete Summary of the Bible" by Keith L. Brooks (1919) was formulated for such a purpose as stated in the preface to his work: "Chiefly for the purpose of stimulating Christians to take up the chapter method of Bible study, this work is compiled. It is designed to act as an aid to the ordinary reader in gathering into a nut-shell, as it were, the definite spiritual lessons for the daily life contained in every chapter of the Bible." James - Chapter 1: "Jas 1:1-27 Contents: Testing of faith. Solicitation to evil not of God. Obedience as a test of true faith. Characters: God, Christ, James. Conclusion: Such as have a true title in Jesus Christ through faith may expect to be called upon to endure many tests of faith, but the genuineness of their calling will be manifest by their stability in trial, their fidelity to God and the principles of Christianity, their activity in good works and the control of the carnal nature at all times. God is the source of wisdom and power continually. Key Word: Tests of faith, Jas_1:3, Jas_1:8, Jas_1:12, Jas_1:22, Jas_1:26. Strong Verses: Jas_1:2, Jas_1:3, Jas_1:5, Jas_1:6, Jas_1:12, Jas_1:17, Jas_1:22, Jas_1:25, Jas_1:27." James - Chapter 2: "Jas 2:1-26 Contents: The tests of brotherly love and good words. Justification before men by our works. Characters: Christ, James, Abraham, Isaac, Rahab. Conclusion: Those who are possessors of Christ’s salvation, which the poorest Christian may partake of equally with the rich, and to which all earthly glory is but vanity, should not make men’s outward advantages the measure of their respect, but should love all, rich or poor, as themselves. The certain evidence of faith is good works. While it is faith that justifies, the faith that justifies can never be alone. Key Word: Brotherly love, Jas_2:8. Works, Jas_2:14. Strong Verses: Jas_2:5, Jas_2:8, Jas_2:10, Jas_2:14, Jas_2:20. Striking Facts: There is perfect harmony between James and Paul on justification. Paul is considering man in relation to God, in which he is “justified by faith apart from works.” James is considering man in relation to his fellowman, in which case works are the visible evidence of faith. We have a right to believe that a profession of faith which bears no fruit, is an empty profession."
