A few weeks ago I was studying World War I Italian Literature. Believe me, it was as depressing as it sounds. We read fiction, autobiographies and poems. And folk songs. When we got to the folk songs, my professor - who has No Religious Beliefs - talked about the major themes in folk music of that time. He said that they centered around
Christian beliefs - not how Christianity is today, but how it was established... the rich becoming poor, the poor and lowly being exalted.
James here is talking about that kind of Christianity. High being low - low being high... the upside down world of Jesus that doesn't make sense. What in the world, then, are we doing? What are we doing?
