James the Less
(1st century – c. 62)

One of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus, titled "the Less" to distinguish from James the Greater.

Western tradition (most notably Jerome) holds that James the Less was the same person as James the Just, the brother (ἀδελφος) of Jesus, but Eastern tradition and modern scholarship suggest that they were two different people. Some scholars believe they were three different people: James the Just, the apostle James, and a third individual known as James the Less.
