Hi,
This book is about "The true history of the gospel of judas "
The following is said about it by the publishers,
"At easter2006, The Gospel of Judas caused a media sensation, provoking an extraordinary reaction around the world. Now for the first time the story of how this text came to be published and how this influences our view of the origins of christianity is told in full. Why did the church attack the gospel of judas with such vehemence? Most ancient literary discoveries are carefully studied before definitive conclusions can be reached, but in the case of the gospel of judas, it seems the church understood its extraordinary contents from the start... Kiss of Death explains the message of the gospel of judas and the importance of its discovery, setting it in the content of other gnostic texts and traditions. It is an intelligent, well-researched and accessible study which offers a new perspective on the orgins of christianity. "
I am not quite halfway thru it, it certaintly paints a different picture of Judas and his relationship with Jesus and no wonder the church has attacked.
Regards Terry
