Me and My Brother - a Short Story by Jim H Christ (Preface)

Preface

Many biblical scholars believe that Jesus of Nazareth had at least 3 brothers, maybe 4 and possibly one sister.  His brothers names are chronicled in a few places within and outside of the gospels, the most significant being the Book of Mathew which names James, Jude and Joses.  Jude wrote a book that appears in the New Testament and also mentions Simon as another brother.  Jesus also refers to his brother Simon throughout the gospels.  The sister?  Well, they didn't really care much about women back then, did they?

This account is a story written by Jim (James) that might add some much needed insight into life in the early first century of modern times or at least it gives Jim a voice that he has not here to fore had.
