The Gospel of Judas

There was been a lot of hoopla about the new released Gospel of Judas. National Geographic did a big special on Sunday, most of the major media outlets have covered it. Instead of reproducing a lot of the comments about the Gospel of Judas, I thought I just link you to a good blog about it.

Ben Witherington: The Sad Truth about Judas

Witherington has several posts responding to the Gospel--all of them which you should read.

The bottomline is this 1 document written by Gnostics some 300 years after Jesus and Judas, doesn't reveal anything about what the early church believe and knew about their relationship, but reveals only what a heretical group that formed 100 years after the earlier church believed.
