Yes, I'm really confused about what he was trying to do with the essay. At the end he basically says that applying the "heuristic tools" of our categories (apocalyptic, prophetic, wisdom, etc.) fails us when we look at James. But his essay was about trying to fit James within the categories. I just don't think he really used those heuristic tools effectively. Thanks, Greg.

There's a common tendency to "split" wisdom from apocalyptic discourse, and Hartin -- though apparently resisting the temptation -- seems to slide into it.
