Later, as in other orders of chivalry, the membership became a mark of honor. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) teaches that James has been resurrected and that in 1829 he—along with the resurrected Peter and the translated John—visited Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery and restored the priesthood authority with apostolic succession to earth.

The son of Zebedee and Salome is James, styled ""the Greater"", to distinguish him from the Apostle James ""the Less"", with greater meaning older or taller, rather than more important. He was the brother of John the beloved disciple. James is described as one of the first disciples to join Jesus.

He is often identified with James the Less (Greek ""Iakōbos ho mikros"", Mark 15:40) and commonly known by that name in church tradition.

James, son of Zebedee, is then called ""James the Great"" (although that designation does not appear in the New Testament).

The other apostle James, the son of Alphaeus, is not prominent in the Scriptural record, and very little is known about him. The writer of the letter of James identifying himself as ""a servant/slave of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ"" is much the same as the author of the Epistle of Jude did by calling himself ""a slave of Jesus Christ, but a brother of James"" (Jas 1:1; Jude 1).
