This introduction to the book of James reports on the author, date, recipients, distinctive characteristics, and outline. James was one of several brothers of Christ, probably the oldest since he heads the list in Mt 13:55. At first he did not believe in Jesus and even challenged him and misunderstood his mission (Jn 7:2–5). Later he became very prominent in the church.
