古代传统认为这些书信是西庇太的儿子约翰所写,他是十二使徒之一。尽管有人试图回避《约翰一书》1:1-4是由“见证人”所写的这一暗示,但这些尝试都是错误的。《约翰一书》4:6中说:“我们是属神的,认识神的就听从我们;不属神的就不听从我们。从此我们可以认出真理的灵和错谬的灵来。”——如果这不是由一位使徒写的,那这番话可以说至少是非常自大了。

作者自称是神和主耶稣基督的仆人雅各(1:1)。但这是哪一个雅各呢? 最常与这封信联系在一起的 “雅各 ”是耶稣同母异父的兄弟。如果这封书信是在使徒雅各(见关于日期的讨论)死后所写,那么主的兄弟雅各就是巴勒斯坦基督教会中唯一著名的雅各了。这样,他就很容易简单而谦虚地称自己为 “神和主耶稣基督的仆人”(1:1)。同时,书信的传递者也很可能知道作者,并在阅读时告知收信人。此外,书信中的权威口吻也预示着作者是一位颇具权威、受人尊敬的人物,而不是一位默默无闻的雅各。 因此,没有令人信服的理由来撇开传统的观点,即作者是主的兄弟雅各。相反,这封书信在重要细节上与作者的这一身份相吻合。
