A glaring omission on my behalf. There are three New Testament ‘James’ 
(Jacob, Iacobos) of note. St James the greater (Santiago Mayor) and St James 
the lesser (Santiago Menor) were among the original twelve, St James the 
half brother of Jesus and author of the Book of James. Santiago Menor sort 
of gets lost in the shuffle. Of the three, Santiago Mayor, the patron Saint 
of Spain, has the most written of him. The Martyrdom of James, the son of 
Alpheus (Santiago Menor) records that James was stoned by the Jews for 
preaching Christ, and was “buried by the Sanctuary in Jerusalem”. Different 
sources will cite different opinions on James #2 and James #3, some combine 
these into a single individual. And thus we return to Faith. Reading the 
opinions of learned scholars is good, knowledge is good. But in the end, 
it’s what you believe and what you do with it.
