The Gospel of Judas by Simon Gathercole
The newly-discovered ancient text of the Gospel of Judas offers a picture of Judas Iscariot radically different from the Church's traditional understanding of him as the arch-traitor. Simon Gathercole's book, which includes a translation and a running commentary, gets behind the hype which the Gospel of Judas has attracted.
Gathercole's erudition is a welcome contribution to the ongoing and often sensational discussions about the newly discovered gospel, and his work serves as an insightful and lucid investigation that will profit both scholar and casual reader with an interest in the Gospel of Judas* The Edinburgh Review of Theology and Religion *
A careful examination and exposition of the new text whcih lays bare the error of some of the claims that have been made for it... a real contribution to genuine research. * R McL. Wilson, Journal of Theological Studies *
A discussion so free of error and sustained misrepresentation stands in a league of its own among the books inspired by this alluring but protean gift of the Nile. * Mark Edwards, Journal of Ecclesiastical History *
Simon Gathercole writes clearly and his book will meet the needs of the curious more than adequately. * David Blatherwick, Methodist Recorder *
a very balanced, informative and interesting account * Séan Goan, Milltown Studies *
