The Holy War - Biblical Commentary on the Book of Jude

D. Earl Cripe, Ph.D (1934-2011) held firmly to Historic Orthodox Christian Theology that the Bible is the only guide to the faith and practice of the Church. Towards that end during his more than forty-seven years of ministry he penned numerous volumes of expository Bible commentaries. In them he takes the reader verse-by-verse through the chosen book of the Bible, explaining the original meanings and intentions along with the applications to the life of the serious believer of Christ in simple language that anyone can grasp. They are essential reading for the serious Christian looking to further their understanding of the Holy Scriptures.

This volume is a verse-by-verse study of the Book of Jude. Though this letter of St. Jude consists of only one chapter, it is very intense and contains much for us to consider, especially in these times. St. Jude charges the Church with many responsibilities, warns them about many dangers, and instructs them about how to handle difficult situations. Yet the Apostle does not want us to think that we are somehow responsible in our own strength and understanding to go out and make this war and handle these problems. If we are to have wisdom, it must come from God through Jesus Christ our Savior. If we are to have glory now and in the day of Christ, it must be His glory that comes by walking in Him and, He in us. There is no majesty but God's. There is only one righteous Kingdom, and that is God's kingdom. God alone reigns as King, Only Wise, Eternal and Immortal. All power to earnestly contend for the faith and to beat back the forces of darkness must come from God. We hope that you will take the time to read and learn from this fascinating letter.
