Brother of Jesus subject to study

James the brother of Jesus doesn’t have the celebrity status of the Apostle Paul or Apostle Peter within New Testament studies.  Like the rest of the twelve he is largely ignored.  Yet James is the one leader for whom we have historical details outside of the New Testament in that he is referred to by Josephus.  Matti Myllykoski of University of Helsinki, Finland is seeking to help turn that around.  Over the past two years, Matti has published two lengthy articles entitled “James the Just in History and tradition: Perspectives of Past and Present Scholarship” in the journal, Currents in Biblical Research.  Perhaps the end result of this extensive study would be another book on the subject. These articles will be useful reading material for some of the long flights I’m about to undertake!Matt Jackson-McCabe of the University of Niagara also told me that he was hoping to develop some studies on James.Encouraging signs all round. <a href="http://technorati.com/claim/ne9h7c86wp" rel="me">Technorati Profile</a> 10 application/xml false Jackson-McCabe James the brother of Jesus Josephus Matti Myllykoski New Testament Studies Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; Avant Browser; SU 3.005; .NET CLR 1.0.3705; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; InfoPath.1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727) 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 pnathan 216.175.75.22 false true false false true 188838 false false true false false false true 169992 blog blogsite/FirstFollowers/web
