Brethren of the Lord

In last week's Review of Biblical Literature announcements, I was interested to read my friend Matti Myllykoski's review of Bruce Chilton and Jacob Neusner (eds.), The Brother of Jesus: James the Just and His Mission. He linked, in that review, to something I'd missed before on the net:

J. B. Lightfoot, The Brethren of the Lord

It's an interesting article from 1865, excerpted from his Commentary on the Epistles of St. Paul, and reproduced on the Philologos Religious On-line Books web site.
