Ethical Admonition in the Epistle of Jude examines the twofold ethical admonition found in this short and often neglected New Testament letter. Using a model suggested from the discipline of Christian Ethics, this study demonstrates how the author of Jude argues for the exercise of judgment and mercy in the early Christian community.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"A neglected New Testament letter receives a penetrating and creative analysis in this study. Using the critical variables for Christian decision making, the ground of meaning, beliefs, loyalties, interests, and perception of the situation, this study shows how Jude's ethical admonition resonates with those of Jesus and James. An incisive study that makes a significant contribution to our understanding of Jude." -- David E. Garland, Professor of New Testament, Truett Seminary, Baylor University
"For too long the Epistle of Jude has languished in obscurity. In his creative and comprehensive analysis of Jude's ethical admonitions, Lyle seeks to remedy this neglect. This work will prove as valuable for those interested in ethics and the character of pre-Pauline Christianity as it will for those interested in Jude." -- Cary Newman, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
"This is an important contribution to NT studies that attempts to redress the lack of attention paid to the Epistle of Jude within critical scholarship. For too long the letter has been relegated to the margins of NT studies. It has hitherto been viewed as something of an aberration, an extraneous oddity that does not really deserve its place within the NT canon. Dr. Lyle here argues for the importance of the Epistle of Jude as a document illustrating the shift from the ethical teaching of Jesus himself to the early Christian community that soon succeeded him. This period is a critical one within the history of the early church and certainly justifies the investigation here offered. The model of interpretation suggested herein allows a very helpful integration of the concerns of a first-century apocalyptic worldview with an ethical perspective that transcends the boundaries of time. The result is that the epistle of Jude becomes significantly relevant for us today. Much applause is here due to an attempt boldly to reassert Jude within the area of NT discussion." -- Larry Kreitzer, Tutor of New Testament, Regent's Park College, The University of Oxford
