The discovery of a previously lost Gospel of Judas Iscariot has
electrified the Christian community. What Matthew, Mark, Luke, and
John tell us about Judas, the disciple who betrayed Jesus, is
inconsistent and biased. Therefore, the revelation of an ancient
gospel that portrays this despised man as someone who saw his role
in the Passion of Christ as integral to a larger plan--a divine
plan--brings new clarity to the old story. If Judas had not
betrayed Jesus, Jesus would not have been handed over to the
authorities, crucified, buried, and raised from the dead. Could it
be that without Judas, the Easter miracle would never have
happened?
In The Secrets of Judas, James M. Robinson, an expert historian
of early Christianity, examines the Bible and other ancient texts
and reveals what we can and cannot know about the life of the
historical Judas, his role in Jesus's crucifixion, and whether the
Christian church should reevaluate his intentions and possible
innocence. Robinson tells the sensational story of the discovery of
a gospel attributed to Judas, and shows how this affects Judas's
newfound meaning for history and for the Christian faith.
