| Description: |
This text explains why Christian leaders have minimized the importance of James the Just, who served as the first bishop of Christendom's mother church. It studies his role as the fountainhead of traditions used to further the interests of Jewish Christians, Gnostics and the Christian community. |
| Synopsis: |
A second edition of "Just James" became necessary with the announcement of the discovery of a Jewish ossuary, or burial box, inscribed in Aramaic with the words, as commonly translated, "James son of Joseph brother of Jesus". Through the publicity surrounding the controversial discovery many people are now aware that Jesus of Nazareth had a famous brother named James. How does the ossuary relate to understanding "that" James and "that" Jesus? This work sets out the varied considerations concerning this question while providing access to the early sources concerning James. In the process John Painter buttresses the case for recognizing James as the direct successor to Jesus and the leader of the original Christian movement in Jerusalem. |
