Question

One of these people is the purported author of an “infancy gospel” where the names of Mary’s parents, Anna and Joachim, first appear. J.B. Lightfoot coined the terms “Helvidian,” “Epiphanian,” and “Hieronymian” for three different viewpoints on these people. One of these people, named a “pillar of the Church” alongside John and Peter, was the first leader of the church in Jerusalem. The (*) shortest book in the New Testament is titled for one of these people. The Epistles of James and Jude are writings attributed to two of these people, who are sometimes considered (10[1])to be children of Joseph by another marriage. For 10 points, Hong Xiuquan (10[1])probably did not belong to (10[1])what group of Biblical figures, conventionally interpreted as being cousins of the Savior rather than children of Mary? ■END■

ANSWER: brothers of Jesus Christ [or James, Jude, and Joseph; or adelphoi of Jesus; accept cousins of Jesus before it is read; accept siblings or half-brothers or stepbrothers of Jesus; accept children of Mary of Clopas; prompt on children of Mary and Joseph; prompt on family members of Jesus; prompt on apostles or disciples of Jesus; reject “the twelve apostles” or “disciples”] (The lead-in refers to the Protoevangelium of James.)
