I have to back up and straighten things out. Yesterday I attributed the Book of James to the apostle James and really it is another James. What do I blame this on? Too much chemo, too much what? I actual did a study of this back a year ago and had this straight then.
So the current thinking is that the Book of James was written by James, the brother of Jesus. He was not a follower of Jesus while Jesus was here in body. He later came onboard. The two Jameses who were Apostles were James son of Alphaeus (James the Lesser) and James son of Zebedee (James the Greater). So, after all that it is James the Greater who is buried in Santiago and the causer of the Camino. But none the less the Book of James carries a good message and I am sure all the Jameses near and far would put their stamp of approval on it. And we will too.
For the time being we have things straightened out. Onward, love, Felipe.
