Who was Judas Iscariot and why did he betray Jesus? Despite the
recent recovery of a Gnostic Gospel bearing his name, the
centrality of Judas has gone largely ignored. Yet, because of gaps
and incongruities in biblical accounts about him, artists
throughout the ages have returned to the twelfth apostle, who
inaugurates Jesus' death and resurrection. In this comprehensive,
probing book, Susan Gubar explains how Judas came to stand for the
Jewish people and how he personifies a composite Judeo-Christianity
that illuminates ambivalent relationships between Christians and
Jews as well as changing attitudes toward the body, blood, and
money; greed and hypocrisy; suicide and repentance; homosexuality
and divinity. Over twenty centuries, a figure of disgrace turns
into a dignitary. Gubar shows how Jesus' most notorious
disciple-known for a kiss-has provoked profound reflections on the
problem of evil that still resonate today.
