“The Truth about Judas Iscariot” is a book that is at once a work of philosophy, cosmology, literature, poetry, mythology, anthropology, psychology, and history, not to mention, of course, a commentary on religion. Of the several recently-published books that draw on new information about the Judas character, this is the most holistic and most thought-provoking. It is not just about what we have learned from newly discovered ancient documents, but it is about the many ideas and nuances of thought that form a two-thousan

the related issues of betrayal, conspiracy, human motivation, divine
intervention, condemnation and redemption. Ultimately, it is about the history
and meaning of good and evil in our
world
