Judas by Kim Paffenroth

Judas has been protrayed as an effete intellectual, a jelous lover, a greedy scoundrel, a misguided patriot, a doomed hero, a man destroyed by despair and God's special, misunderstood messenger and agent. This volume traces the development of the literature and legend surrounding the most famous traitor in Western history. Its purpose is not to find the Judas of history, but rather to provide readers with a map or family tree that shows the similiarities and connections between generations of the Judas story.
Kim Paffenroth is Assistant Professor of Religious Studies at Iona College. His books include Augustine and the Liberal Educators (Ashgate, 2000) and The Story of Jesus According to L (Sheffield, 1997).
