Summary

Jude (a.k.a. Judas) and the biblical letter that bears his name have been sidelined for centuries. But his personal history teaches us about the complicated relationship between faith and family and between Judaism and Christianity. His letter's backstory inspires confidence that it is a trustworthy addition to the Bible. His letter's teachings about Jesus, spirituality, sexuality, community, and the afterlife have plenty of contemporary relevance. This book explores all these topics and more in a fast-paced conversational style that connects with popular culture and history-from football to fantasy films and from John Wesley to Beyoncé! Each chapter ends with discussion questions, making this book perfect for individual or group study.
