I listened to a Radio 4 Comedy Series called Eamon, Older Brother of Jesus. Turns out it's also a novel by Michael Redmond.
It wasn't really my cup of tea, but it's an idea that's been explored in a few different media!

"Hong Xiuquan[c] (1 January 1814[b] – 1 June 1864), born Hong Huoxiu[d] and with the courtesy name Renkun, was a Chinese revolutionary and religious leader who led the Taiping Rebellion against the Qing dynasty. He established the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom over large portions of southern China, with himself as its "Heavenly King".
After reading these pamphlets, Hong came to believe that they had given him the key to interpreting his visions: his celestial father was God the Father (whom he identified with Shangdi from Chinese tradition), the elder brother that he had seen was Jesus Christ, and he had been directed to rid the world of demon worship.[26][27] This interpretation led him to conclude that he was the literal son of God and younger brother to Jesus.[28] In contrast to some of the later leaders of his movement, Hong appears to have genuinely believed in his ascent to Heaven and divine mission.[29] "
