The New Testament, Episode 13: 1st & 2nd Peter and Jude

Episode Summary

The #1 disciple, Simon (who Jesus named Peter) left us 2 letters. And Jude, the half-brother of Christ, gave us a short letter that is very similar in style and substance to 2 Peter. So in this episode we analyze these three epistles. Why, for instance, do these three letters refer to &/or quote the non-canonical book First Enoch? What warnings do these epistles give us to avoid false teachers? What relationship does the ministry of Peter have with the ministry of Paul and the other apostles?
