Was James better understood by his intended audience?
Reading the Ambassadors now, this is just something I began to contemplate over.
Do you suppose that James' intended audieence, that is the people who were reading his work at the time he was writing it would have acutally understood his work better than future readers who are reading his work today?
Or do you think his work would have been equally difficult and confussing to understand for those reading at the time, as it is for many people reading it now?
