There are lots of Jameses mentioned in the Gospels, including two among Jesus' twelve apostles. In this episode of Catholic Saints, Dr. James Prothro (another James!) and Mary McGeehan talk about the life and witness of the first bishop of Jerusalem.

For more on St. James and St. Paul, read Dr. Prothro's new book: A Pauline Theology of Justification: Forgiveness, Friendship, and Life in Christ.
