This is the story of Judas the myth, condemned by Dante to the most terrifying circle of Hell; Judas the man, the son of wealth and power who fought to suppress the lusts of the flesh and the sin of pride to become one of the 12 original disciples of Jesus Christ; and Judas the apostle, victim of a diabolical lie, history's arch-traitor, who sold his Lord for 30 pieces of silver, and sealed his fate with a kiss.

The Gospel of Judas is a Gnostic and apocryphal gospel that records some conversations between Jesus and the apostle Judas Iscariot, transcribed not by Judas himself, but by Gnostic Christian followers of Jesus.

The Gospel of Judas was composed between approximately 130 and 170 CE; its dating is based on the maturity of its theology, its assumption of knowledge of the ...

What motivates a man to betray a friend? And not just a friend but the Son of God? The Bible doesn't answer this question. In fact, it says very little about Judas Isacariot, leaving who he was and what motivated him to our own interpretation.
