A Study of Jude

Jude is an epistle (letter) written by Jude, brother of James written between 70 and 90 AD.  It is believed by most scholars that this Jude is not the Apostle Jude (son of James), but rather the half brother of Jesus.  Matthew 13:55 records Jesus’ brothers’ names as James and Judas, but english translations change the name to Jude, possibly for the same reason that today no one would name their child Judas.  This letter was written to Christians.
