Editing Epistle of Jude (section)

==Influence==
In general, Jude did not have much influence in later Christianity, not appearing often in sermons preached to laypeople nor in treatises by Christian theologians. The [[Baptists|Baptist]] preacher [[Charles Spurgeon]] used verse 19 as his text for at least one sermon.<ref>Spurgeon, C., [http://biblebaptistchurchnaples.org/pages/Library/Spurgeon/Vol.04/vol.04.167.html  The Holy Spirit and the One Church], Sermon 167 delivered on Sabbath Morning, 13 December 1857, accessed on 20 May 2025</ref>

Douglas Rowston, an Australian New Testament scholar, observed in 1971 that "Only its benediction may be familiar to an average churchgoer" and that "New Testament theologians have ignored the book".<ref name="Rowston1975" /> The Presbyterian writer Hywel Jones later observed that since Rowston's article was published, a "flurry" of academic studies of the letter emerged.<ref>Jones, H.
