The Epistles of James and Jude are generally attributed to James and Jude, brothers of Jesus. The Epistle of Jude, in particular, is clearly a second-century work, and so was not really written by anyone who actually met Jesus.

∙ 12y agoAlthough Jude was written as if by the named author, it carelessly looks back to the apostles as revered people of the already distant past, clear evidence that it was a second-century work by an unknown author.
The General Epistle of James could be substantially pre-Christian, or at least proto-Christian. Its teaching is not about the Christian faith, but about the importance of living a moral life, and the arguments for doing so are set forth as common wisdom. The source and authority for this wisdom are taken for granted by the author, and sayings reminiscent of the teachings of Jesus are not given special privilege and are not even attributed to him as their author or authority. The author makes no attempt to claim a relationship with Jesus, either as brother or disciple, even when to have done so would have added further weight to his message. And Jesus is only mentioned twice (James 1:1, 2:1) in what may be later insertions. All this makes authorship by the brother of Jesus most improbable.

∙ 11y agoThe Bible mentions that Jesus had four brothers: James, Joseph, Simon and Judas. Ultimately they all became believers - but not until after he had died.
There were two written by Jesus brothers - James & Jude

Was the bible handwritten by Jesus?
The Bible comes in two sections the Old Testament And the New Testament, The Old testament is the book that governs the Jewish religion and Jesus was an authority on this and was referred to as Rabi by many that came to hear him and learn from him. The New testament Is the second part of the bible and this is the book that reefers to the works and the teachings of Jesus Christ. The Jews who were the compositors of the first testament do not recognise the second testament as they do not recognise Christ. However Jesus Christ did not write any part of the New testament as a mater of fact most of it was written long after the death of Jesus. No, it was written by a number of people, Jesus' disciple's. God overall wrote the book because God told them what to write. But God did not HANDWRITE it. God is not Jesus, it is his son. Jesus did not wright the bible, it was his disciple's, kings, and translators that wrote the bible.
