Person
James the Just, brother of Jesus
d. 62
leader of the Jerusalem church
Attested. Attested by Paul and Josephus (the Ant. 20.200 passage is accepted by most scholars; Carrier argues the phrase is a gloss).
Paul calls him 'the Lord's brother' and a 'pillar' of the Jerusalem church. Josephus records that the high priest Ananus had 'the brother of Jesus who was called Christ, whose name was James' stoned in 62. Hegesippus gives a legendary account of his death.
