The book of Jude tells us that it was written by "Jude, slave of Jesus the Anointed One, and brother of James."
There is a consensus that the "brother of James" identifies the author as the brother of that James who led the community of Jesus-followers in Jerusalem from at least 40 CE until his execution in 62 CE--in other words the same person who wrote the book of James. That would make Jude the younger brother of Jesus. Then why did Jude call himself a slave?
In this video, Peter H. Davids discusses who wrote Jude and the namesake himself.
