I spent 9 years in Roman Catholic seminary, and I never heard any of material - or any hint of it. Thank you, Tanner. I so appreciate your historical research, frankness and clarity!

I’m glad you found it useful.

James is also significant because his execution records are considered evidence for the historical Jesus.

Thanks much for writing this, I am guessing that few Christians know about it. The few I have talked to about it barely knew about James and how he contradicted Paul.

I personally feel that the Jamesian compromise in Acts is not genuinely James, but who knows, with no sources outside the Bible.

Thanks, Seth. I was actually thinking of you when I wrote it because of the suggestion you gave me about James’ letter. I haven’t forgotten about it, and it’s in the works.
