and assess how and if James enhances how one understands Matthew 6:19-34. Asignificant addition in James is the mention of an employer’s role in the stewardshipof wealth.Finally, a synthesis of the findings of this thesis with other sciences would be ofinterest in order to have an empirical research validation of the findings. Specificallywithin the field of psychology: For example, the Baker Encyclopaedia of Psychologyand Counselling lists anxiety as one of the most common emotional dispositionsexperienced by people (Benner & Hill 1999:88). Psychologists will note that anxietycan result in several negative results, such as loss of sleep, agitation, a sense of uncalm,loss of memory and concentration, and a loss of emotional comfort (Benner &Hill 1999:88). So there could be room to engage with where the other sciences agreewith, and enhance, the understanding of Scripture’s teachings found in Matthew6:19-34.101
