I'm in the process of preaching a series on the book of Jude.
I'm aware of it's brevity and how it seems to parallel 2nd Peter.
I would like to ask for suggestions for commentaries that would be helpful for such a series.
Presumably you have tried this in your Library window:type:commentary AND Jude
Suggestions:
Some of those are available in sets only. The last one is good for word studies.
Jude is a strange little book with some unique issues (e.g. the only NT quote from the Pseudepigrapha, despite Enoch not actually being the author).
Didn't the Beetles have something on Jude? (Sorry, I couldn't help myself). [:)]
A little known Beetles factoid was that the song originally was 'Hey 2nd Peter'. John thought it was too obvious.

Douglas Moo wrote a commentary on 2 Peter/Jude in the NIV Application Commentary series. I've heard good things about this one.
While not available in Logos, I have found George L. Lawlor's "The Epistle of Jude: A Translation and Exposition" to be very helpful. It was in the "An International Library of Philosophy and Theology", published by Presbyterian and Reformed Publishing in 1972. It is 151 pages in length.
For cool outlining purposes you could try John G. Butler's commentary on Jude, is part of an individual set that contains Hebrews to Revelation. http://www.logos.com/product/6688/analytical-bible-expositor-hebrews-to-revelation Also, highly recommended is the Pillar's volume by Colin G. Kruse http://www.logos.com/product/3450/pillar-new-testament-commentary-the-letters-of-john.
Others: NAC, BEC, College Press and Believer's Church Bible Commentary. And...John Phillips alliterated commentary which is not available in Logos yet.
Blessings!
Douglas
