Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Antiquitates Apostolicæ; Or the Lives, Acts, and Martyrdoms of the Holy Apostles of Our Saviour, Vol. 2: To Which Are Added, Lives of the Two Evangelists, St. Mark and St. Luke
Herod, and St. James the Just, bishop of J crusa lem, whom they expressly affirm to be the same with him whom St. Paul calls the brother of our Lord.' Once, indeed, Eusebius2 makes our St. James one of the seventy, though elsewhere quoting a place of Clemens of Alexandria, he numbers him with the chief of the apostles, and expressly distin guishes him from the seventy disciples. 3 Nay, St. Jerome, ' though when representing the opinion of others he styles him the thirteenth apostle, yet elsewhere, 5 when speaking his own sense, sufficiently proves that there were but two, James the son of Zebedee, and the other the son of Alphwus; the one sirnamed the greater, the other the less. Be sides that the main support of the other opinion is built upon the authority of Clemens's Recogni tions, a book in doubtful cases of no esteem and value.
