Up until the first century a.d., mirrors in the Near East were made of polished bronze or other metals. With the invention of glass in Lebanon, new techniques could be used to create more reflective surfaces. James compares God's Word to a mirror in which people can see themselves in the light of God's truth (1:22-25).
