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 Butz 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. Using the canonical Gospels writings of the Church Fathers and apocryphal texts Butz argues that James is the most overlooked figure in the history of the Church. He shows how the core teachings of Jesus are firmly rooted in Hebraic tradition; reveals the bitter battles between James and Paul for ideological supremacy in the early Church; and explains how Paul's interpretations which became the foundation of the Church are in many ways its betrayal. Butz reveals a picture of Christianity and the true meaning of Christ's message that are sometimes at odds with established Christian doctrine and concludes that James can serve as a desperately needed missing link between Christianity Judaism and Islam to heal the wounds of centuries of enmity.

    Remember that you have a heavenly Parent, who knows all your needs. Make your first concern God’s reign and a God-centered life, and then let God handle all those other needs. Don’t be all worked up36 about tomorrow. Let tomorrow worry about tomorrow. You’ve got enough to concern you today.
