The Catholic Epistles and Apostolic Tradition: A New Perspective on James to Jude

The Catholic Epistles and Apostolic Tradition asks two questions: Can the Catholic Epistles from James to Jude be fruitfully examined in relation to each other, without contrasting them with the Pauline Epistles? And, if so, will we learn something new about them and early Christianity? The essayists here answer "yes" and "yes," offering provocative perspectives on James, the Johannine epistles, the Petrine epistles, and Jude.Additional contributors are Ernst Baasland (Church of Norway), Lutz Doering (University of London--King's College), Reinhard Felmeier (University of Göttingen), Jörg Frey (University of Munich), Scott J.
