What is The Brother of Jesus and the Lost Teachings of Christianity about?

<p>Reveals the true role of James, the brother of Jesus, in early Christianity</p> <p>• Uses evidence from the canonical Gospels, apocryphal texts, and the writings of the Church Fathers to reveal the teachings of Jesus as transmitted to his chosen successor: James</p> <p>• Demonstrates how the core message in the teachings of Jesus is an expansion not a repudiation of the Jewish religion</p> <p>• Shows how James can serve as a bridge between Christianity, Judaism, and Islam</p> <p>James has been a subject of controversy since the founding of the Church. Evidence that Jesus had siblings contradicts Church dogma on the virgin birth, and James is also a symbol of Christian teachings that have been obscured. While Peter is traditionally thought of as the leader of the apostles and the “rock” on which Jesus built his church, Jeffrey Bütz shows that it was James who led the disciples after the crucifixion. It was James, not Peter, who guided them through the Church's first major theological crisis—Paul's interpretation of the teachings of Jesus.</p> <p>Using the canonical Gospels, writings of the Church Fathers, and apocryphal texts, Bütz argues that James is the most overlooked figure
