James Tabor's Jesus Dynasty Blog
James Tabor, author of The Jesus Dynasty, has entered the biblioblogdom. Check out his Jesus Dynasty Blog. Dr. Tabor has also provided a convenient list of "Primary Sources on James the Just" as well as a student's essays on James the Just (written for an exam).Update: Note also his post on the "Beloved Disciple." He suggests that the identity of this unamed individual is James the Just rather than John. An intriquing suggestion to say the least. I'll have to take a closer look at his book on this.

Sadly his inherent disbelief in Johannine authorship prohibits him from accepting the word of God as authoritative on even the issue of the identity of the Beloved Disciple. I've blogged about it here but it comes down to John identifying himself as the Beloved Disciple in John 21:20, 24.
Perhaps his "inherent disbelief " is based on history, not some rigid literal interpertation of a book that has been changed many times.
