| Summary: | Even though it is mentioned twice, the Spirit within the book of Jude has often been neglected and disconnected from the writer’ exhortation to contend for the faith. This paper aims to draw out Jude’s pneumatology, the problem of dreamers in the early church, and identity of the opponents in order to demonstrate how they all relate to Jude’s argument and the community’s understanding of false charismatics. Jude writes to a community that was in danger of losing its faith by both forgetting what the apostles have taught and by neglecting the spiritual practice of praying in the Spirit. Jude makes the point that in order to combat false charismatics and contend for the faith, one must neither stop the community’s engagement with the Spirit nor avoid pneumatic experiences altogether. |
