What a provocative thought that is, that there could be good news or a gospel associated with the person who is most renowned as the betrayer of jesus. and now, lo and behold, a gospel of judas has been discovered, shedding more light on how provocative and interesting and insightful that 2nd century was, with all the diversity of thoughts so that even a figure like judas can be linked to the good news of jesus. >> so, too, can mary magdalene. for centuries mistakenly depicted as a repentant pro...
