Publisher's Summary

Lost for nearly 1,700 years, newly restored and authenticated, the Gospel of Judas presents a very different view of the relationship between Jesus and Judas. Rather than paint Judas as a traitor, it portrays him as acting at Jesus' request.

A National Geographic special introduced tens of millions of viewers to one of the most important biblical discoveries of modern times. Now a leading historian of the early church (and a featured commentator in the special) offers the first comprehensive account of the gospel, revealing what it contains and why it is so important for believers around the world.

Ehrman recounts the fascinating story of where and how this ancient parchment document was discovered, how it moved around among antiquities dealers, and how it came to be restored and translated. He gives a complete and clear account of what the book teaches, and he shows how it relates to other gospel texts, including the Gnostic texts of early Christianity. Finally, he describes what we can now say about the historical Judas and his relationship with Jesus.

The Gospel of Judas raises many questions. Ehrman provides illuminating and authoritative answers.

Balanced

I appreciate Ehrmans ability to look at these issues and at least to my ears remain open to all possibilities, ultimately giving his opinion based on the facts available and the time all these writings occurred in. We need more balance in our social media world.

Profile Image for Ordered it, never came in, months late and having a hard time getting refunded for something that’s clearly not coming in

It’s quite illuminating

This is about as deep of a dive on any gospel as one could hope for, I’m not necessarily subscribing to some of the philosophy of this gospel however it helps to look into the world of a specific group of early Christian’s

This isn’t the Book of Judas you think.

It’s basically a long hour seminar of someone explaining the book of Judas and linking it to other parts of the Bible. It’s a summary. If you’re looking to read what the book of Judas says chapter by chapter this isn’t it.
