The Brothers: James and Jesus

Dorothy Clarke Wilson

In this dramatic work, a provocative insight is provided into the life of Jesus as perceived through the eyes of his brother, James. Historically, this was a time when Israelites awaited the coming of a Messiah who would remove the yoke of Roman bondage. The Brothers were brought up to adhere to the strict rules of Jewish Law. But Jesus began listening to what was in his heart and showed compassion towards those in need, even if doing so resulted in breaking the Law. For example, Jesus would carry food to lepers on the Sabbath which was considered work and, thus, against the Law. As youngsters, James and Jesus talked of a Dream for making the world a better place. As a man, Jesus pursued that Dream through his travels and teachings, while James grew apart from his Brother and the Dream. James, although he loved his Brother, became more and more disapproving of him through the years. Feeling it was his duty, James eventually betrayed Jesus by speaking against him - one of the events leading to Jesus’ crucifixion. After Jesus’ death, James begins his own search for salvation and an understanding of the Dream of his Brother.
