 Just James: The Brother of Jesus in History and Tradition John Painter 
 Description From The Publisher: Just James provides a fascinating treatment of Jesus' brother based on all the ancient sources: New Testament, early church fathers, Nag Hammadi codices, and other early Christian writings. Painter evaluates the importance of this towering figure of the early church whose contributions have been obscured from the consciousness of modern Christianity. The author explores James' relationship to Jesus, Mary's perpetual virginity, James' receipt of special revelations from he risen Lord, and his status as one of the first martyrs of the church.
