Description
The Christian New Testament story of Judas is not history. We now have period evidence from Egypt that shows Judas is a cover character for James the Just, successor to Jesus Christ, if there in fact was a Jesus Christ, which is highly debatable. The four Gospel story of the Betrayal of Christ is a tendentious remake of a mastership succession story in the gnostic Apocalypses of James and Gospel of Judas, found at Nag Hammadi and Al Minya, Egypt. Every single detail of the biblical story of Judas is found in its original telling in the gnostic succession story, just inverted -- to hide the successor, James.
Misreading Judas received the Pinnacle Book Achievement Award in 2018.

An intriguing, one sitting read for Biblical scholars and those interested in reading non canon religious stories. The author provides a look at the missing story of Judas. The one accused of betraying Christ. Some scholars will say this is heresy, some will find it fascinating. It will provide hours of discussion by scholars and historians alike.
