Contend for the Faith: A Study of the Book of Jude with 21st Century Application

When a culture decides truth is whatever you feel, how should Christians respond? A 25-verse letter near the end of the New Testament gives a clear answer.

Contend for the Faith: A Study of the Book of Jude with 21st Century Application is a Bible study workbook by Matthew Allen and Cain Atkinson. It examines the letter of Jude and applies it to Christian life in a post-Christian America.

How This Study Helps

Much of our culture has set aside the Bible's objective standard and replaced it with feelings, desires, and personal freedom. The parallels with Israel in the days of the judges are hard to miss, when everyone did what was right in his own eyes. Christians feel the weight of it, and many aren't sure whether to speak up or how.

Jude is short and easy to pass over, but it was written for exactly this kind of moment. It urges believers to stand against a rising tide of opposition, and it shows them how to respond well. This study works through the text and offers practical ways to become more effective at sharing Jesus and influencing others for good.
