James was verified as being alive when this epistle was written? And if that is the case, is there any conformation that he actually wrote the epistle?
*edit* nevermind, memory coming back, James was martyred 7 years after the first writings of paul, correct?
*edit 2* This epsitle never mentioned any of the life of Jesus did it? I find that strange considering James brother of Jesus would have spent the majority of Jesus' life in his company.
Correct me if i'm wrong.
Was it ever really settled which james it was?
Maybe to you it wasn't settled, but the accepted view is that James was known as the brother of Jesus. He was mentioned in the writings of Paul and he wrote the epistle credited to him. If you have evidence to disprove this I would like to hear it.
Are you saying there was no one known as "James, the brother of Jesus?"
