Alexandra Robinson examines the letter light of repeated scholarly references as an invective, a polemic, and an attack speech, with a dependence and Greco-Roman sources. Moving beyond the 'Hellenism/Judaism divide', Robinson specifies what these elements are, and hto the harsh nature of the discourse. This study shoand why Jude borrows from these contemporary genres, with a detailed survey of Greco-Roman invectives and Jewish judgement oracles; comparing and contrastiepistle of Jude with consideration of structure, aims, themes, and style. Robinson argues that Jude has constructed a 'Jewish invective,' and that his epistle is a polemical text which takes the form (structure, aims, and style) of a typical Greco-Roman invective but is fillcontent (themes and allusions), drawing on Israel's heritage for the benefit of his primarily Jewish– Christian audience.
