For 1600 years its message lay hidden. When the bound papyrus pages of this lost gospel finally reached scholars who could unlock its meaning, they were astounded. Here was a gospel that had not been seen since the early days of Xianity, &amp; which few experts had even thought existed–a gospel told from the perspective of Judas Iscariot, history’s ultimate traitor. Far from being a villain, the Judas that emerges in its pages is a hero. In this radical reinterpretation, Jesus asks Judas to betray him. In contrast to the New Testament Gospels, Judas is presented as a role model for all those who wish to be disciples of Jesus. He's the one apostle who truly understands Jesus. This volume is the 1st publication of the remarkable gospel since it was condemned as heresy by early Church leaders, most notably by Irenaeus, in 180. Hidden away in a cavern in Middle Egypt, the codex containing the gospel was discovered by farmers in the 1970s. In the intervening years the papyrus codex was bought &amp; sold by antiquities traders, hidden away &amp; carried across three continents, all the while suffering damage that reduced much of it to fragments. In 2001, it finally found its way into the hands of a team of experts who would painstakingly reassemble &amp; restore it. <i>The Gospel of Judas</i> has been translated from its original Coptic into clear prose. It's accompanied by commentary that explains its history in the context of the early Church, offering a new way of understanding the message of Jesus.

Sheds new light on the ancient world and the beginnings of Christianity. Featuring full-color photographs of the original papryus pages alongside the Coptic text and its English translation, this book provides a mystical, gnostic picture of Jesus. [from publisher description].

Dieses Buch präsentiert die erste Veröffentlichung des Evangliums des Judas der Neuzeit. Das Evangelium erzählt aus der Sicht des Judas Iskarioth, dem historischen Inbegriff des Verräters, die letzten Tage Jesu. Aus dieser Perspektive ist Judas keineswegs der Schurke, sondern der Vertraute Jesu. Jesus bittet Judas, ihn zu verraten. Im Gegensatz zu den Evangelien des Neuen Testaments wird Judas Iskarioth hier als Vorbild für all jene dargestellt, die Jesus als Jünger nachfolgen wollten. Er ist der einzige Apostel, der Jesus wirklich versteht. Das Evangelium des Judas wurde in klarer, verständlicher Sprache ins Deutsche übersetzt. Der Übersetzung sind kommentierende Aufsätze beigegeben, die seine faszinierende Geschichte und seine provokative Deutung der Botschaft Jesu Christi im Kontext der frühen Kirchengeschichte erläutern sowie dessen Herkunft und religionsgeschichtliche Bedeutung bestätigen.
