In the Book of James, Chapter 1, verse 1 reads: "James, a slave of God and of [the] Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes that are scattered about:"*
It appears he is referring to the Twelve Tribes of Israel.
*"That are scattered about." Lit., "the (ones) in the dispersion [Gr., di·a·spo·rai´; Lat., di·sper·si·o´ne]."
To Jewish Christians who were being persecuted for their faith.

∙ 12y agoIt is generally accepted that James was Jesus half-brother (different fathers :). He was the leader of the Church of Jerusalem (not Peter who was chief minister). He died circa 62 AD by being clubbed and thrown of a Pinnacle of the Temple.
James is usually included with Peter and John together in several verses of Scripture and these 3 are considered the main leaders for the 'diaspora' of 721-718 BC (lost 10 Tribes) witnessing. Paul was strictly for special witnessing to the Gentiles.
AnswerThe letter was addressed to Christian Jews (James 2:1), scattered among the nations (1:1), this seems like a book of Christian proverbs that covers a number of subjects, all bearing on the practical aspects of the Christian life.
