Take a sad song and make it better? In this episode, Dad and I explore the oft-overlooked Epistle of Jude, including theories of authorship, its lavish use of apocryphal sources not included in either Christian or Jewish scriptural canons, its incipient trinitarianism, and the ongoing urgency of its charge against antinomianism. Also, is Jude the middle term between Paul and James?

Notes:

1. Bauckham, Jude–II Peter

2. Schnelle, The History and Theology of the New Testament Writings

3. Saarinen, The Pastoral Epistles with Philemon and Jude

4. Hengel, Judaism and Hellenism

5. My "little book of parables" that Dad referred to is Pearly Gates (my #1 bestseller!)
