The Gospel of Judas, Second Edition by Rodolphe Kasser
In this radical reinterpretation, Jesus asks Judas to betray him. In contrast to the New Testament Gospels, Judas Iscariot is presented as a role model for all those who wish to be disciples of Jesus. He is the one apostle who truly understands Jesus.
"In one sense, this document is huge news..it provides a touchstone for what certain people believed 150 or 200 years after Christ’s death."Knight/Ridder Tribune News Service
