Why so eager to drum a witness off the page? And what of those naive ones who included James in the canon? Or was it merely, as WL said, to show us how not to think? If you start parsing the Bible thus, at some point you have to look away, or you end up with a rather small Bible. Then, the only assurance you have, is that you know more than anyone else, including the witnesses of the Bible, and those who assembled it together. Some hope, that.
