This Guide surveys the more important historical, socio-cultural,
theological, and literary factors we must grapple with in
understanding the two letters of Jude and Second Peter, between
which there are very strong similarities. It appears that the
letter of Jude was almost entirely 'plagiarized' by the letter of
Second Peter. George Aichele's main approach is the method of
semiotics, examining signifying mechanisms in each of the texts
both independently and when they are read together. In both of the
letters, Jesus Christ is called the 'master', with a Greek word
that means 'slave-owner', and the authors of both books refer to
themselves and other Christians as the slaves of Christ.
Furthermore, both writings report situations of paranoid fear
within Christian communities of their time as they picture
heretical infiltrators who threaten to pervert and perhaps even
destroy the community. In addition to this, in an adventurous
excursion, the letter of Jude is read intertextually with the
classic science fiction/horror film, Invasion of the Body Snatchers
(Siegel 1956), in order to explore the dynamics of paranoia.
