This episode takes a deep dive into one of the most overlooked figures in early Christianity: James, the brother of Jesus.
Was James actually the leader of the earliest Christian movement? Why does Paul describe James as one of the “pillars” of the church? And why do ancient sources appear to preserve traditions in which James held extraordinary authority in Jerusalem?
The discussion explores Christianity before Paul, the historical Jesus, James, Peter, Paul, the Ebionites, the Gospel of Thomas, Acts 15 and Acts 21, and the fascinating evidence preserved in early Jewish-Christian traditions.
One of the most provocative claims in the discussion is that James could be described as the “first pope” — not necessarily in the later Catholic sense of the word, but as the leader or “shepherd of the shepherds” in certain ancient traditions.
The conversation also examines how different historical sources fit together and why the figure of James may be an important clue for understanding the origins of Christianity.
Was James more important than Peter? Did Jesus really have a brother? And what can James tell us about the historical Jesus?
Watch the full discussion and decide for yourself.
