Who was Judas Iscariot? Was he the archetype of the real rogue or the closest friend and confidante of Jesus? The closest friend and confidante – at least this is claimed by the Gospel of Judas. For 1800 years, it was believed to be lost; its rediscovery was a sensation. Monika Hauf provides the historical and psychological background necessary to understand this unique work. She presents the 2000 year old history of its reception and explains why Early Fathers of the Church like Irenaeus (second century) crossed themselves whenever the Gospel of Judas was mentioned. Will it turn the Passion Story upside down?
