Which of these books is a book of the New Testament?

The Epistle of Jude, often shortened to Jude. It is the twenty-first and last of the Epistles, and the penultimate book in the New Testament and is attributed to Jude, the servant of Jesus and the brother of James the Just.

The letter of Jude was one of the disputed books of the Canon. Although its canonical status was contested, its authenticity was never doubted by the Early Church. Part of Jude is very similar to 2 Peter (mainly 2 Peter chapter 2), so much so that most scholars agree that there is a dependence between the two; that either one letter used the other directly, or they both drew on a common source. It is one of the shortest books/letters in the Bible, being only 25 verses long.

I chose Jude and it wasn't obscure.

In almost all Christian traditions today, the New Testament consists of 27 books: 4 canonical gospels by the "Four Evangelists" ( Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) The Acts of the Apostles 13 Pauline epistles The Epistle to the Hebrews 7 general epistles The Book of Revelation The Epistle of Jude is the penultimate book of the New Testament as well as the Christian Bible. It is traditionally attributed to Jude, brother of James the Just, and thus a relative of Jesus as well. Jude is a short epistle written in Koine Greek.

Ian Swindale, I am a non-believer and have no trouble with Bible questions. Many of my friends are humanist, agnostic or atheist and, as a general rule, they know the Bible better than the typical believer. Especially when it comes to the history of the major religions.
