I just read the book of James. Although I do not know if it was James Zebeddee who wrote it or Jesus' brother James...(for we know Mary who concieved Jesus by the Holy Spirit, had children by Joseph her husband,) I found it once again, filled with Words of WISDOM.
It reminded me very much of Proverbs.
I found it filled with Truth and very good Counsel!
For the record, I have heard of other factions of Christian organizations who don't like the book of James either.
But by the opening lines, I think this James was a close buddy of Paul's because he is addressing his letter to the 12 scattered tribes of Jewish believers. And Paul, who I think wrote Hebrews is also addressing the Jewish believers in Christ.
Blessings all,
