Is it the Book of James or Jacob in the New Testament?

Are you curious about why the name of the New Testament Jacob was changed to James in English? Were you even aware of the change? In this video, we briefly explore the story of John Wycliffe, who, when producing his English version of the Bible, arbitrarily changed the name of the New Testament Jacob to James. We also learn that in most other languages, it is still the book of Jacob or Jacobus. In both the Old and New Testaments, Wycliffe used the name Jacob for the patriarch who wrestled with the angel. So why did he make this specific change? Was it a mistranslation or a desire to distance the Christian Church from Judaism? Join us on this journey of discovery and unravel the mystery behind the name change from Jacob to James in the English Bible. Let's examine.
