The Secrets Of Judas: The Story Of The Misunderstood Disciple And His Lo st Gospel by James M Robinson
In The Secrets of Judas, James M. Robinson, an expert historian of Early Christianity, examines the Bible and other ancient texts to reveal what we can and cannot know about the life of the historical Judas, his role in Jesus' crucifixion, and whether the Christian church should reevaluate his intentions and innocence. Robinson tells the sensational story of the discovery of a gospel attributed to Judas, and Judas' newfound meaning for history and Christian faith. The Secrets of Judas includes:
* A profile of Judas based on what the Bible says about him as well as references to him in ancient non-Biblical sources.
* The story of the secretive sale by a Middle Eastern antiquities dealer and the purchase by a Swiss foundation of a 4th-century Coptic document claiming to be a gospel written by Judas.
* An analysis of Judas' role in the passion of Christ, and a reevaluation of his motivations.
