Confusion over the identity of St. James, the leader of the Jerusalem Christians who is often called “St. James, the Lord’s Brother,” arises because he is often mistaken for St. James, son of Alphaeus. The term “the Lord’s brother” in Galatians 1:19 is also uncertain, leading to various hypotheses about his relationship to Jesus.
