On the Overwhelming Likelihood that James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas Were Not the Brothers of Jesus but Rather His Cousins

  Yeah, this fellow lays it out brilliantly by underscoring that a) the term, brother, was frequently used in a much more general sense during Jesus's time and b) it would have been extremely unlikely for Jesus to ever refer to his mother as, "the other Mary (Mary Magdalene being the other other)", as he often did to describe the parentage of James, etc.. I mean, I suppose that there's still an opening for the other scenario to be the case but after listening to this scholar, I'm thinking, no, at this juncture.
