New Testament Sources
The earliest New Testament sources on James are the surviving Pauline Epistles from about the sixth decade, describing events roughly during 35–55. The Acts of the Apostles, written between 60 and 100, describes the same period. The Gospels, with a disputed dating ranging from about 50 to as late as 110, describe the period of Jesus' ministry, around 30. In these sources, there is more than one person named James, and different titles are used to distinguish between them.
