“The Minority Report: A Different Assessment for Interpreting Jude, Part 1”

Bibliographic information:

Bateman IV, Herbert W. “The Minority Report: A Different Assessment for Interpreting Jude, Part 1.” Bibliotheca Sacra 177 (January–March 2020): 91–105.

Description:

Scholars and Bible teachers have long assumed that Jude wrote his epistle in response to false teachers. Some see him responding to Gnostic false teachers, others to Christian false teachers. How- ever, a close examination of this “majority report” reveals contra- dictions within this view, and the letter never explicitly refers to teaching. Part 1 will focus on these problems with the majority report, while part 2 will examine a “minority report” that offers a different background for the letter of Jude.
