Enrich New Testament Understanding

Jude's epistle is a powerful call to contend for the faith, but its depth is often missed without an appreciation for its unique literary and historical context. While many New Testament letters refer to Old Testament events or known teachings, Jude draws on other traditions that, though not canonical scripture, were well-known and influential in his day. To fully grasp his message, we must sometimes look outside the canonical texts themselves to understand the cultural and intellectual landscape in which early believers lived and Jude wrote.
