 Epistle of James
James 2.21-25; 5.10-11, 17-18) and also the references to the Law in an exclusively ethical context were general practices possible anywhere within early Christianity.
If James the Lord's brother were the author of the Letter, then it is amazing that in James 5.10-11 it is Job and not Jesus who serves as an example of willingness to suffer.
It is not that James necessarily knows the gospels or 1 Peter, but rather that there is a Christian parenetical tradition into which sayings ascribed to Jesus in the gospels have been taken up, although not in the form of sayings of Jesus, and of which both James and 1 Peter make use.

In the Guardian James Hall tried to enliven a tender painting of two women peacefully asleep by proclaiming it to be "the scene of a crime.
The extent to which Freud's life directs interpretation is nowhere more evident than in reaction to his nudes, with the assumption that they form part of some sexual merry-go-round; an autobiography of conquest.

 FRINGE REPORT
Lucian Freud (b 1922) seldom talks about himself - so little is known about his thoughts.
James Thomas, as Lucian Freud, is sometimes the subject of the scene - the other characters talking to him as they pose for him; or about him to each other.
James Thomas's subtle footwork and the pose of his body catches the relaxation, concentration and tension of the artist observing his subjects when the drama's focus is on them.

 Lucian. Christ Myth Refuted. Did Jesus Exist? A Christian Response
Lucian's attack is not so much on Christianity, but on the person of Peregrinus, who took advantage of the Christians' simplicity and gullibility.
Lucian could just be copying their errors, and even if he were not, this testimony is too late to be useful.
Van Voorst next wonders of Lucian's use of the term "scribes", because of its negative association in the Gospels; he thinks Lucian has ascribed the title anachronistically from Judaism, but one wonders why this has to be seen as a title rather than as a profession.
