THE LOST GOSPEL OF JUDAS ISCARIOT A New Look at Betrayer and Betrayed

An authentic ancient text from the point of view of the infamous disciple who betrayed Christ with a kiss is fascinating. I just wish there were more to it. Sadly, the work is fragmentary, but the surviving text is worth hearing. Dennis Boutsikaris does his usual expert job reading the text. That little trick he does--turning the words up at certain points, almost like a question--serves him well in a book full of questions. Author Bart Ehrman, a respected Bible scholar, pads the work with details of the manuscript's discovery and authentication. Listeners must wait until Chapter 6 to actually start hearing what is in the Judas Gospel. M.S. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine [Published: FEB/ MAR 07]
