The Lost Gospel of Judas Iscariot: A New Look at the Betrayer and Betrayed
Bart D. Ehrman
- Unabridged
Narrator: Dennis Boutsikaris
Length: 8 hours and 49 min.
Lost for nearly 1,700 years, newly restored and authenticated, the Gospel of Judas presents a very different view of the relationship between Jesus and Judas. Rather than paint Judas as a traitor, it portrays him as acting at Jesus' request.
A National Geographic special introduced tens of millions of viewers to one of the most important biblical discoveries of modern times. Now a leading historian of the early church (and a featured commentator in the special) offers the first comprehensive account of the gospel, revealing what it contains and why it is so important for believers around the world.
Ehrman recounts the fascinating story of where and how this ancient parchment document was discovered, how it moved around among antiquities dealers, and how it came to be restored and translated. He gives a complete and clear account of what the book teaches, and he shows how it relates to other gospel texts, including the Gnostic texts of early Christianity. Finally, he describes what we can now say about the historical Judas and his relationship with Jesus.
The Gospel of Judas raises many questions. Ehrman provides illuminating and authoritative answers.

Customer Reviews
This listen is very imformative and tells the story of how the gospel was found and finally realised. The story of the parchment is more interesting than what it actually says about Judas and Jesus. Obviously there would be no Christianity without Judas and he was probably Jesus' fave disciple. An enjoyable listen. Recommended.
