	James the Just (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Eusebius also reports the tradition that James the Just was the son of Joseph, and therefore the brother of Jesus (as well as Jude) mentioned in Matthew 13:55, Mark 6:3, and Galatians 1:19.
		James the Just is sometimes given credit for writing the New Testament book the Epistle of James, although it has also been ascribed to James the Great and James the Less.
		He was also traditionally believed to be the author of the Protevangelion of James, or "Nativity Gospel of James", though modern scholars date this document to the 2nd century.

	Gospel of James - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Gospel of James may be the earliest surviving document attesting the veneration of Mary and claiming her continuing virginity.
		The document presents itself as written by James: "I, James, wrote this history in Jerusalem." Thus the purported author is James the Just, which the text claims to be a son of Joseph from a prior marriage, and thus a step-brother of Jesus.
		The Gospel of James is one of several surviving Infancy Gospels that give an idea of the miracle literature that was created to satisfy the hunger of early Christians for more detail about the early life of their Savior.

	James the Just - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Saint James the Just (יעקב "Holder of the heel; supplanter"; Standard Hebrew Yaʿaqov, Tiberian Hebrew Yaʿăqōḇ), also called James Adelphos, James of Jerusalem, or the Brother of the Lord and sometimes identified with James the Lesser, (died AD 62) was an important figure in Early Christianity.
		James alone is mentioned as a brother of Jesus by Paul in Epistle to the Galatians 1:19.
		Eusebius of Caesarea reports the tradition that James the Just was the son of Joseph's brother Clopas, and therefore was of the "brethren" (which he interpretes as "cousin") of Jesus described in the New Testament.

		The document presents itself as written by James: "I, James, wrote this history in Jerusalem." Thus the purported author is James the Just, the brother of Jesus.
		James was called "the Just" because of his ascetic practices, which involved taking Nazarite vows, unless as suggests he was dedicated "from the womb", and to distinguish him from Saint James the Great and Saint James the Less.
		The Gospel of James depends on hints in the Septuagint (Greek translation of the Old Testament), and embellishes on what is told of events surrounding Mary, prior to, and at the moment of, Jesus' birth, in the Gospel of Matthew, and in the Gospel of Luke.

		James the Just (died AD 62; Hebrew יעקב Ya‘ăqōbh, Ya'akov "Holder of the heel; supplanter") was the first bishop or patriarch of Jerusalem, to give him the title assigned to him by Pauline Christianity.
		The relationship of James, one of the desposyni or the "heirs of the Master", to Jesus has been rendered problematic to many Christians due to the belief that Jesus Christ was the Son of God, and James the Just should therefore be at best a half-brother or a step-brother.
		James (Hebrew יעקב Ya‘ăqōbh, Ya'akov "Holder of the heel; supplanter"), son of Alpheaus (or Clopas), was called the Less or the Younger to distinguish him from Saint James the Great.

	Gospel of James
		The Gospel of James is also sometimes known as the Infancy Gospel of James or the Protevangelium of James.
		Most scholars believe that, based on their literary criticism, the work is pseudonymous and was composed some time in the second century A.D. Its content, emphasizing the continued virginity of Mary, would seem to make it an unlikely document to have been written by a brother of Jesus.
		While the Gospel of James has never been an accepted part of the New Testament canon, it does provide the basis for many of the hymns used in the Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches, and for much of their teachings concerning Mary.

	James Ossuary Earliest Reference to Jesus : Laurence Gardner (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		The sisters of Jesus are also mentioned in the Protevangelion of James, in the Gospel of Philip, and in the Church's Apostolic Constitutions.
		The James ossuary is a plain and very common limestone type of bone box, but as was pointed out some time ago its inscription is unusually refined - more in keeping with those found on lavishly styled ossuaries such as that of Joseph Caiaphas (Yehosef bar Qayafa), the High Priest of Jerusalem AD 18-37.
		Stories such as that of the James ossuary are presented with a certain initial enthusiasm, but this is generally clouded by the inclusion of irrelevant comments from churchmen.

	Science Fair Projects - Salome (disciple)
		Salome is the name a developing tradition after the 2nd century gave to the wife of Zebedee and thus mother of the apostles John and James the Greater, without any textual authority in the New Testament.
		Among them were: Mary Magdalene; Mary the mother of James, whom Jesus delivered out of the hand of Satan; Mary who ministered to him; Martha her sister; Joanna (perhaps also Susanna) who renounced the marriage bed; and "Salome who tempted him".
		A distinct traditional Salome is the beautiful and corrupt daughter of Herodias (not actually named in Mark 6:22) and step-daughter of Herod Antipas the tetrarch, who revenged herself on John the Baptist by demanding his severed head.

		And went away to the priest (high priest) and told him, Joseph in whom you placed so much confidence, is guilty of a notorious crime, in that he hath defiled the Virgin whom he received out of the temple of the Lord, and hath privately married her, not discovering it to the children of Israel.

		James and John this time go in, and when they go in it records in the Gospel of Luke, when those Samaritans, when those Gentiles-- remember, these are the Gentiles, the Samaritans that four months earlier confessed that He was Messiah.
		When James and John go in there, it says that those Samaritans, those Gentiles, knew that he set his face as though he would go to Jerusalem and they refused to sell anything to James and John.
		But if so, that still leaves him with the admonition of James regarding the fact that those who would be teachers are subject to greater scrutiny by God than their students.

		The Protevangelion of James, once read in some eastern churches, records a tradition that at the time of the slaughter of the innocents, Elizabeth took her son and went up unto the mountains, and looked around for a place to hide him; and there was no secret place to be found.

		It is likely that James the Just had students of his own, and that his movement merged into the Yeshua movement after Yeshua's death.
