Article 2014-01 - Missiological Observations in the NT (19)
Jude’s letter, the last of the General Epistles, shows much commonality with Peter’s 2nd letter. Both address false teachers. Peter warns that they are coming – he speaks in the future tense. Jude says that they are already among the people. This suggests that Jude wrote later than Peter, or that both made use of a tract against false teachers that may have been written by someone else. It is impossible to have certainty about this but there is no reason to doubt the authenticity of either letter.
