This volume is an original and important contribution to the study of

the earliest Palestinian Jewish Christianity. For the first time all

the evidence for the role which relatives of Jesus played in the early

church is assembled and assessed. Dr. Bauckham discusses a wide range of

evidence, not only from the New Testament but also from the Church

Fathers, the New Testament Apocrypha, rabbinic literature and

Palestinian archaeology. The letter of Jude, in particular, proves to

have much to teach us about the theology of the brothers of Jesus and

their circle. It illuminates their exegetical methods and their

Christology and shows both to have been influential contributions to the

development of early Christianity.

This study shows that this neglected New Testament book is far more

important for the study of early Christianity than has hitherto been

recognized. By setting the letter of Jude within the context of the

evidence for the role of relatives of Jesus in the early church, new insights can be revealed into the letter and early Jewish Christianity.
