The discovery of Judas's Gospel has caused great controversy among biblical scholars, and in this detailed work, two experts of the Gnostic gospels approach many questions resulting from this important find.

The answers to these questions introduce Christianity's vibrant and tumultuous beginnings and approach themes as polemic as the nature of God, the meaning of Jesus's death, and the suffering of the martyrs--questions that are of as much interest today as they were 19 centuries earlier.
