Fortunately various students of the early Jesus movement are coming to realize the paramount importance of James, the brother of Jesus, thanks to the work of Robert Eisenman and others in the past two decades. In this reading I offer an overview of the Peter, Paul, and James, nexus and how it most likely can be sorted out--giving James his proper place--largely lost and forgotten.
The full quotation of the Gospel of Thomas reads:
"The disciples said to Jesus: "We know that you will go away from us. Who is it who shall be great over us?" Jesus said to them: "Wherever you have come, you will GO TO JAMES THE JUST, for whose sake heaven and earth came into being." Logia 12.
