Synopsis A fascinating and controversial find, the GOSPEL OF JUDAS is a translation, from the original Coptic, of an ancient codex from early Christianity, along with commentary by a Bart Ehrman, an expert on early Christianity.
THE GOSPEL OF JUDAS presents a stunning view of Judas that differs considerably from mainstream Christianity. Here, Judas is an insightful follower of Jesus, and a close collaborator, not a betrayer. It is Judas with whom Jesus shares key knowledge about a secret realm, and in whom Jesus invests the important task of setting in motion his plan to return there. Discovered in Egypt in the 1970s, the codex was known to the early church, and was, along with other such gospels, considered heretical. This text is prepared and published under the aegis of the National Geographic Society.
