Abstract

This project argues that James and Jude provide a unique, early, and Jewish-Christian perspective on the relationship between Christology and ethics. This thesis contends that James and Jude built their ethical appeals on an assumed, apostolic theology generated by the resurrection, which included a high Christology and an expectant eschatology. As the watershed, foundational event in the early church, the resurrection prompted massive and widespread shifts in the apostles’ Christological comprehension, ethical construction, and exegetical methods. Rather than leaving James and Jude in the unintelligible backwaters of the NT, this thesis shows that these brothers of Jesus were not only aligned with the apostolic theology behind all of the NT documents but were also influential in its formation and application.
