Bible Forgery Part 8: Did James write James?

from The Skeptics’ Bible Project · host John & Ben

In this episode, John and Ben start by discussing President Jimmy Carter’s controversial view about Jesus and homosexuality. They break down what he said and why it’s caused a stir.  Then, they turn their attention to the Epistle of James and explore the theory that it was actually written by Jesus’ brother. Is there any solid evidence for this, or is it just another biblical family myth?  Of course, no episode would be complete without addressing the supposed feud between James and Paul. Was it a genuine clash of ideas, or just another case of two religious figures butting heads?  And, in the “Bible Says What?” segment, they tackle one of the more uncomfortable parts of scripture: God’s unsettling approval of genocide. Because, you know, nothing says divine wisdom like wiping out entire populations.
