| Summary: | The reason for treating these two letters in one volume and in this particular order reflects the view of the author that 2 Peter must be seen as the 'oldest interpreter' of Jude (76). Green considers Jude 'as an authentic composition of the brother of Jesus and that the heresy against which he warns is not second century gnosticism but antinomianism, which found its theological base in a misinterpretation of the doctrine of grace as taught by Paul and others' (17). The Epistle of Jude, therefore, brings us into contact with early Palestinian Christianity that was in the process of opening up to the gentile mission. The approach to Scripture that Jude employs provides insight into the hermeneutic of early Christians within Palestine. The moral issues that the epistle addresses help us understand that concerns for proper conduct, especially sexual morality, were not limited to such places as Corinth and Thessalonica' (16). |
