The Gospel of Judas is a Gnostic account told from the perspective of Judas Iscariot, Jesus's betrayer according to the New Testament. Included are secret deliberations between Judas and the Savior, wherein the two discuss hidden mysteries, end times prophecy, and the role Judas is to play in the coming crucifixion. In this narrative, Jesus offers a sharp rebuke against those following institutional religion, not even sparing the twelve disciples in his harsh remarks. This fascinating Gospel offers a bold reimagining of one of Christianity's most infamous figures.
