The Gospel of Judas... credible?

Judas and The Gospel of Jesus

N.T. Wright is an Anglican bishop and has taught at Oxford, Cambridge and McGill Universities. He is a prolific writer of New Testament studies.

With the manifestation of a new finding, bursting upon the scene in pre-Easter of 2006, Wright looked at the ‘new’ Gospel of Judas with the curiosity of an historian and the challenge of a theologian.

Wright offers the reader insight and information relative to various questions.

What is Gnosticism all about? Does the writing of extra canonical gospels inform us or dissuade us from our tradition? Is the Gospel of Judas apt to change our understanding of Jesus and the message of Christianity? Does this finding of the Gospel affect the relationship between Jews and Christians?

In this short but concise and readable account, Wright offers us precise and clear answers to the above questions.

Read and reflect.
