Luther seemed to be quite wary of the book of James. I think he struggled with James seemingly suggesting that works lead to our salvation and not as result of it.

That is definitely true.

And FWIW, his translation of James is really not very good. He did a much better job on the rest of the New Testament.

Is it biblical? Is it Christlike? Is it loving? Is it true? How can I find out?
