This epistle (letter) was written by Judas (Jude), the brother of Jesus, Joses, Simon, and James who wrote the Book of James (see Matthew 13:55). It was after the resurrection that the brethren of our Lord acknowledged His Messiahship, and it may be Jude’s chagrin over his delayed recognition that caused him to make no mention of his relationship to Jesus in this epistle. Jude was not an apostle, and, in fact, seems to identify himself apart from the apostles in verses 17 and 18, where he refers to the “words spoken before by the apostles,” and identifies them as “they.” The exact date of this epistle is not known, although it was thought to have been written no earlier than 64 AD, and not later than 67 or 68 AD.
