| Summary: | The letter of Jude has been called ‘the most neglected text in the New Testament’. Today, the epistle is still problematic and debate continues regarding its date, author, provenance, relationship to 2 Peter, ethnicity, orthodoxy, and canonicity. Jude represents a textual site of great significance for Christian origins, especially as it cites the Book of Enoch as authoritative text (Jude 1:6, 14–15; 1 En. 1:9, 60:8). In this essay, I investigate the relationship between Jude, the identification of Jude’s ‘false teachers’, and the christological and theological implications of Jude’s citation of Enochic tradition. |
