God’s Justice in the Catholic Epistles: The Stories of Cain & Abel and Sodom & Gomorrah according to James, John, Peter and Jude

The research project attempts to find commonality in the Catholic Epistles, arguing that the God’s justice represents a theme that links these letters. Since the Catholic Epistles employ a variety of Old Testament allusions, especially to the stories of Cain & Abel and Sodom & Gomorrah, it seems appropriate to understand the concept of God’s justice in the letters of James, Peter, John and Jude in light of the stories they make use of. It will be investigated how the stories of Cain & Abel and Sodom & Gomorrah function in the Catholic Epistles.
