James, Brother of Jesus
James was a half-brother of Jesus, son of Mary and Joseph. Initially skeptical of Jesus' ministry, he became a believer after Jesus appeared to him following the resurrection. He rose to become the leader of the Jerusalem church, presiding over the Jerusalem Council which decided that Gentiles need not follow the Mosaic Law. Known as "James the Just" for his piety, he authored the Epistle of James emphasizing practical faith. He was martyred around AD 62.
