Bible study course
An incisive academic and pastoral study of the Epistle of Jude, exploring its Palestinian Jewish provenance, its authorship by Jude the brother of James and physical half brother of Jesus, its urgent summons to contend earnestly for the faith once for all delivered to the saints, its unsparing polemic against antinomian intruders who turn grace into licentiousness, its rich tapestry of Old Testament and Second Temple typologies of judgment, its strategic pastoral guidance for snatching the wavering out of the fire, and its peerless closing doxology of divine keeping power.
An orienting academic introduction to Jude, examining its authorial provenance as the brother of James and physical half brother of Jesus, the original desire to expound the common salvation, the sudden pastoral emergency of antinomian intruders, the definitive nature of the apostolic deposit once for all delivered to the saints, and the theological roadmap of the epistle.
An advanced theological exposition of Jude 5-25, analyzing the ancient paradigms of divine judgment (wilderness generation, fallen angels, Sodom and Gomorrah), the angelic dispute over Moses body, the threefold woe of Cain, Balaam, and Korah, the prophecy of Enoch, the pastoral rescue of the wavering, and the magnificent closing doxology of divine keeping power.
