A Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Jude
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
Lange’s Commentary on the Holy Scriptures has served as a standard reference for more than a century. The subtitle “Critical, Doctrinal, and Homiletical” aptly describes the three-pronged approach to the biblical text. This translated version of the German text is often considered by many to be superior to the original.

“While it is true that nothing but the power of God can preserve us unto salvation, cf. 1 Pet. 1:5; 2 Thess. 3:3; Jno. 17:5, it is equally true that we must do our part in this great work of God, and make faithful and good use of our gifts and graces for our sanctification.” (Page 30)
