James argues that "faith without works is dead" (James 2:26) whereas Paul states "a person is justified by faith apart from works of the law" (Romans 3:28). Using these passages, explain in two sentences how a Christian can be justified according to both authors, identifying the role of works in each view.

Answer Options

A. James says justification requires sacramental rites, and Paul asserts it depends on moral behavior rather than faith
Correct Answer B. Both agree that justification comes through faith; James adds that true faith will naturally produce good works as its fruit, whereas Paul stresses that works of the Mosaic law do not contribute to justification, so works are evidence of genuine faith, not the cause of justification
C. Both assert that justification is unrelated to faith; James emphasizes strict law‑keeping, and Paul emphasizes ritual purity as the key
D. Both claim justification is earned by works; James says works are the basis, while Paul argues that faith alone without works is sufficient
Correct Answer
B
Correct Option:
Both agree that justification comes through faith; James adds that true faith will naturally produce good works as its fruit, whereas Paul stresses that works of the Mosaic law do not contribute to justification, so works are evidence of genuine faith, not the cause of justification
