That is the subject of folklore regardless of whatever else it may be. The James of gospel is not a historical character. Either a real Paul met an imaginary man...or one imaginary man met another. ..
If james..instead... is taken to be the real boy, and his contribution to new magic book credible..it makes no mention of the death, resurrection, or divinity of jesus.
If we insist beyond all reason that both are real boys in relation to each other, and that both make credible additions..than we have a confused mess of competing ideologies we call "christian" for novelty.
The literary explanation for this relationships appearance in the corpus is staring us in the face....but still, we like to believe that there was..you know..Some Guy. We imagine that the consensus of scholarship is Our Guy, no less. There wasn't...it isn't.
