POKORNÝ, Pavel
This bachelor thesis deals with social motives in the Letter of James. Introduction is dedicated to the term "social motive" description and wealthy and poor concepts in biblical tradition. Further on some concrete verses of the Letter to James are investigated (1,9-11; 1,27; 2,2-7; 2,15-16; 4,11; 4,13-17; 5,1-6; 5,14-15). They describe or adjust specific social situations.
