Jesus’ brother James was a skeptic of Jesus but was later martyred for his Christian beliefs (Antiquities 20 v.9).  The ancient creedal material in 1 Corinthians 15.3-7 lists an appearance of the risen Jesus to James: “then he appeared to James.” Subsequent to the alleged event of Jesus’ resurrection, James is identified as a leader of the Jerusalem church (Acts 15.12-21; Gal. 1.19). Finally, not only did James convert to Christianity, his beliefs in Jesus and his resurrection were so strong that he died as a martyr because of them. Josephus, Hegesippus, and Clement of Alexandria attest James’ martyrdom. These Hegesippus and Clement of Alexandria testimonies are cited by Eusebius, since the works no longer exist, thus, there is both Christian and non- Christian attestation.
