Historically by Josephus it was that guy who sorta made Christianity more known in Jerusalem. According to that historian he died in 62 AD, but according to Christian traditions he died in 69 AD.
Epistle of James has 5 chapters. I read on wikipedia that it seems likely that it could be written by him because of romans making much more chaos in that region but that it has been edited, because in one part is 12 tribes scattered and take care of the poor and the widow, dont be like this world. So some think it has some significance to that James the leader of Jerusalem Church or Christianity or something.
The only thing that is in question is how much is edited or kept in. Since the earliest they have is one in Syria from late 1st or 2nd century of it. So the idea is someone most likely wrote it there since the ellegant greek was used.
Although i wont argue whether this is James or not. Its more that other christian directions happend, gnosticism is one popular one or jewish christians, lots of stuff happend and i bet romans burned their stuff so its hard to find history when its written by the victors as napoleon said.
