| Title: The Caliphate of James Pages: 120-143 Type: Generic Year: 1997 Abstract: "Matthews, Christopher R. in: NTAb 43,1 (1999) 143: We know two things for certain about James: that he had a vision of Christ (1 Cor 15:7), and that he was known as ""the brother of the Lord"" not only in all of Christianity but also by Josephus (Ant. 20:199-203). With reference to a critical examination by H.F. von Campenhausen of the idea of a ""Caliphate of James"", the article considers several additional testimonies. It focuses on James' relationship with the Lord, his ""quasi-monarchial position"", and the conception of ""successor"" of James.
