James was a half-brother of Jesus and not a disciple. He didn’t believe until after the resurrection. In James, he was writing to Jewish Christians being persecuted.
Simon Peter was also known as Cephas, and wrote to Christians in general, or Gentile Christians in Asia Minor.
John was known as the disciple beloved by Jesus, and he wrote to churches during his old age and exile on the island of Patmos.
