    Oh the book was written by “James, the brother of Jesus” from an earlier marriage of joseph who was never mentioned at any point ever.

    Literally just christian fanfic by a self insert mary sue oc. Humanity has never changed since the dawn of time.

      Nahhh, James was probably there with the historical Jesus (who’s actual father was probably a Roman soldier, and Joseph probably married Mary to “save her the shame” of being an unwed mother). If you want the self-insert fanfic, that’s all of Paul’s writings.

      And, let’s not forget that the vast majority of it was shamelessly lifted whole-cloth from previous works by other cultures… 🤷🏼‍♂️
