The Debate Over Jesus’ Brother That Divides Scholars - Dr. Robert M. Price

One phrase in Paul’s letters has become one of the most hotly debated lines in all of biblical studies:
“James, the brother of the Lord.”

Does this single phrase prove Jesus was a recent historical figure with a literal family?
Or is it a title, a missionary designation, or a later interpretation hardened into dogma?

In this episode of MythVision, Derek sits down with legendary scholar Dr. Robert M. Price to unpack questions raised after the Carrier vs McDonald debate, including:

Why Paul never names Jesus’ earthly family explicitly

Whether “brother of the Lord” means literal sibling or religious status

How common names like Jesus and James affect historical probability

Why some scholars treat this passage as a “nail in the coffin”

How Josephus’ references may point to different figures entirely

Why historicists resist alternative explanations

Dr. Price draws on G.A. Wells, Josephus, Pauline studies, and early Christian politics to show why this issue is far less settled than many claim.
