The Gospel of Judas

not a great read, but worth it for the content!

The writer underwent a lot of pain researching the facts before presenting them. A must read for all believers, talks about Jesus and how he taught his disciples in a way totally unknown till the book is read.

Most of the authors of these commentaries seemed to want to show how this gospel COULD be fact (despite the fact that its theologies completely contradict every book in the New Testament) even though it's not orthodoxy.I gave it 3 stars because I enjoyed being able to read this translation of this once lost "gospel".

One can certainly see why it was slammed by early orthodox Christian fathers as being heretical.
