Abstract

The article looks at the ancient manuscript known as the Gospel of Judas, which was written no later than the 2nd century C.E. by Christians whose beliefs were later deemed heretical. The manuscript portrays Judas as a favored disciple and says his role in sacrificing Jesus' physical being elevates him above the other Apostles. The article compares how Judas is portrayed in the Bible with his portrayal in the Gospel of Judas.
