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. Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Judas, the Catalyst of Salvation or Advocate of betrayal? "Step away from the others and I shall tell you the mysteries of the Kingdom. It is possible for you to reach it, but you will grieve a great deal. For someone else will replace you, in order that the twelve disciples may again come to completion with their God." The Gospel of Judas Gnostic Gospel Surfaces: The rediscovery of a long lost Gospel, of Judas Iscariot, has agitated the Church and Christian scholarship. What the Synoptic Gospels and that of John ... Read More Rating: - "Sour Grapes" is an Understatement In one of the other reader reviews, the reviewer states "The author of this book castigates the owners of the "Gospel of Judas" for what he deems sensationalization for the purpose of making money." Isn't that what Mr. Robinson did with this book. Mr. Robinson LOVES himself. I listened to the book on tape version. I have never heard so many "me's" and "I's" from one author, followed by references to many many institutes, conferences, presentations and awards. It is unfortunate because, obviously, ... Read More Rating: - Yes, Virginia, the Church will survive the Gospel of Judas James Robinson is not the run of the mill sensationalist that you would expect to write a book with "The Gospel of" or "The Secrets of" in the title. [Bulletin! Yet another breathless volume that "threatens to rock Christianity to its foundations!" (Aren't we sick of these yet?)] As a scholar and member of The Jesus Seminar -- which may strike some as a contradiction in terms -- he has been prominent in the study of the Nag Hammadi documents and the elusive gospel source, Q. In "The Secrets of Judas," ... Read More Rating: - Not a great book I agree with the other 1 star reviewers. There are much better books out there on the story of Judas. This is more a story on how hard it is to acquire an antiquity. Rating: - Hype an a No Show Although the audio book is nice to listen to the male voice the digital version tracks are 60 minutes long a apiece, instead of broken up into little 10 minute tracks. Don't buy the digital version of it. Limited cut and paste rights in digital book sucks. The first chapter is definitely worth reading and can be found at: [...] whereas it talks about the gospels. THE JEWISH CHURCH'S ECUMENICAL GOSPEL OF MATTHEW and THE GENTILE CHURCH'S ECUMENICAL GOSPEL OF LUKE. The rest of the book is just ...
