The author does not identify himself as an apostle and James the apostle died early in the history of the church (Acts 12:2) therefore he is not a likely candidate. There is James the brother of John, the son of Zebedee, an apostle, James the son of Alphaeus (Mark 3:18), James the father of Judas (not Iscariot - Luke 6:16) and James the half brother of the Lord (Galatians 1:19). There are four possibilities from the New Testament. First, we have the question of authorship. There has been much controversy about the book of James. We hope this outline of James will assist you in your study of God’s Word.
