“The Secret of Judas” By James Robinson

Introduction

The Gospel of Judas is the most remarkable of four ancient texts bound together in antiquity and, discovered in the late 1970s in Egypt. Having been stowed away in a Swiss bank vault for decades, they were only recently rediscovered and studied critically. People have marveled at the existence of the Judas Gospel, for it presents Judas Iscariot not only as Jesus' betrayer but also as his enlightened, favored disciple. Gospel of Judas is a series Gnostic, describing alleged conversations between Jesus and his disciples, especially Judas, during the last days of Christ. Unlike the conventional Christian view, that Judas betrayed Jesus, this text displayed Judas as the most faithful disciple of Jesus. Despite the existence of the Gospel that was already known to researchers, the text was not recognizing until the recovery of codex.

The first half of The Secrets of Judas includes a line-by-line comparison between the gospels of the Gentile Christian Church (Mark and Luke) and the Jewish Christian Church (Matthew). The Gospel of John, which does the most to discredit Judas, can be viewed as a polemic against him. In this section, Robinson looks at differences between the four Gospel texts and considers who may have implemented the various interpretations and why, focusing on the political differences between the two factions in the early Christian Church (James, 2006).
