Composition
The letter of Jude was one of the disputed books of the Canon. Although its canonical status was contested, its authenticity was never doubted by the Early Church. The links between the Epistle and 2 Peter, its use of the Apocryphal Books, and its brevity raised concern.
It reminds the reader to live a virtuous and faithful life and warns against denying God and succumbing to the pleasures of the flesh. It is one of the shortest books in the Bible, being only 25 verses long.
