Summary

Lost for nearly 1,700 years, newly restored and authenticated, the Gospel of Judas presents a very different view of the relationship between Jesus and Judas. Rather than paint Judas as a traitor, it portrays him as acting at Jesus' request.

A National Geographic special introduced tens of millions of viewers to one of the most important biblical discoveries of modern times. Now a leading historian of the early church (and a featured commentator in the special) offers the first comprehensive account of the gospel, revealing what it contains and why it is so important for believers around the world.

Ehrman recounts the fascinating story of where and how this ancient parchment document was discovered, how it moved around among antiquities dealers, and how it came to be restored and translated. He gives a complete and clear account of what the book teaches, and he shows how it relates to other gospel texts, including the Gnostic texts of early Christianity. Finally, he describes what we can now say about the historical Judas and his relationship with Jesus.

The Gospel of Judas raises many questions. Ehrman provides illuminating and authoritative answers.

"In typically brilliant fashion...Ehrman's fast-paced study introduces us engagingly to the Gospel of Judas." ( Publishers Weekly)

Another point of vview

The Lost Gospel of Judas Iscariot is a fascinating look at the problems facing biblical archaeology and the questions that freshly discovered non-canonical texts ask of what the Church teaches. Bart Ehrman's text and delivery make it easy to understand the conflicts between different beliefs in the early church and the diversity of beliefs suppressed by the orthodox church. I was absorbed from beginning to end and found it a quick and satisfying read.

Utterly Fascinating

An excellent and concise description of this important cultural find. Along with his knowledge of the history of early Christianity Ehrman provides an explanation of Western culture and what it might have been.

Better than previous outings by Erhman

This listen is very imformative and tells the story of how the gospel was found and finally realised. The story of the parchment is more interesting than what it actually says about Judas and Jesus. Obviously there would be no Christianity without Judas and he was probably Jesus' fave disciple. An enjoyable listen. Recommended.
