The Lost Gospel Of Judas Iscariot by Bart D. Ehrman

A New Translation and Interpretation

A scholarly examination of the recently discovered Coptic account known as the Gospel of Judas, offering a careful translation and historical analysis that portrays it as a Gnostic text in which Judas is cast not simply as a villain but as an agent carrying out Jesus’ instructions; the book situates the document in the second-century Christian milieu, assesses its authenticity and manuscript history, critiques sensational media claims, and explains what the text’s theology and omissions can — and cannot — tell us about early Christian diversity and the historical Judas.
