Are you ever going to get around to taking advantage of the opportunity to educate me as to what in james is, to you, historical - or a candidate for historical, and why?
As to what is or is not narrative, perhaps you're simply unfamiliar with this tradition in settings other than christianity. Have a look at the Havamal. It's a list of "this is a good idea that's a bad idea" -instructions- framed within the norse narrative and presented by odin, as is claimed in the text of the narrative....
Unless...you think that's not narration, or narrative....perhaps you think that odin actually composed the havamal, and all of the references within the havamal to the norse myths are historical in the same way that all of the references to the jesus legend/myth in james are historical -provided that those references aren't the supernatural ones?
Would you like to go through james line by line and check for the supernatural with me? You claimed the supernatural events where not contained...I'm having trouble seeing why you would say that.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
