Jude the Apostle

About Jude the Apostle

Jude the Apostle, known traditionally as one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus, is ranked #964 in historical importance by MIT's Pantheon project due to his foundational role in early Christianity. He is traditionally credited with authoring the Epistle of Jude, a short but theologically significant New Testament letter which emphasizes contending for the faith. His lifespan is estimated to be from 15 to 70 CE, placing his influence squarely in the formative years of the religious movement that would reshape the world.

Despite this significant historical weight, Jude the Apostle receives a comparatively modest level of modern internet attention, accumulating 737K annualized Wikipedia views in 2025. This figure represents an "overattention" gap of +2x relative to his historical ranking, suggesting he is more recognized online than his raw global impact might predict, though this interest is slightly declining with a -9.8% year-over-year change. For contrast, a figure ranked vastly higher in importance, Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi (#92), garnered only 74K views, highlighting a significant divergence between historical stature and digital focus.

While his overall attention is high relative to his rank, the small +2% momentum gain observed between Q1 and Q3 of 2025 suggests current online interest is not currently surging.
