JAMES by Tom Clark

"The three disciples most often thought of as members of the inner circle were Peter, James and John. The last two were brothers, sons of Zebedee (Matthew 10:2). Zebedee's James (called the Great in contrast with another disciple, James the lesser) is a prominent figure in the story of the raising of Jarius' daughter, the transfiguration, and the Garden of Gethsemane episode where Jesus is arrested. Legends about this apostle convey that he was the first pilgrim missionary. Consequently, he is often represented by a seashell for his travel overseas. He may even have been the first Christian missionary to Spain, for his is considered the patron saint of that country. The book of James has traditionally been ascribed to him. There are many memorable passages addressed to the early Christians. My personal favorite is Chapter 1, verse 27: "Religion that is pure and undefiled before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.""
