Overview
James, the "brother of Jesus", is the only follower of Jesus recorded by name by the Jewish historian Josephus. After the death of his brother he was the leader of the Church of Jerusalem, and the actual head of the early Christian movement. His controversy with Paul of Tarsus about the role of Gentiles within the new community characterized the development of Christian theology before the Jewish War.
In the 60s James was executed by the High Priest Ananiah. The outrage for his execution was so widespread, even outside the Christian community, that caused the removal of Ananias from the High Priesthood.
Two Christian writings are attributed to James--the Letter of James and the Protoevangelium of James.
The importance of the leadership of James, the brother of Jesus, at Jerusalem was overshadowed by the reputation of the disciples Peter, Paul of Tarsus, and John in the Christian communities of the Diaspora.
In 2002 great sensation came from the discovery of an ossuary with the inscription “James son of Joseph, brother of Jesus.” The finding was presented to the public by the Discovery Channel on October 21, 2002, and in November of the same year the artifact was exhibited in connection with the Meeting of the Society of Biblical Literature. On June 18, 2003, however, a report by the Israeli Antiquities Authority concluded that the inscription on the “James ossuary” was a modern forgery.
