Faith & Works: Paul vs. James

To whom were these two books written and why ?

Romans was written by Paul, the apostle to the Gentiles;
the book is to those gentiles, who were already followers of Yah'shua.

James was an apostle to the twelve tribes and states such;
his teaching should be first of all seen in this light.

And in James's own directive, he says he and Peter will go to the Jews and Paul, et al can go to the gentiles. Since I'm not a Jews, I'll follow Paul's directions and trust in Salvation by faith alone (allein, as Luther pointed out), then do as much for others, to bring them to Him as I can while I can.
