The Gospel of Judas by (way too many people to type, except Judas didn't make the author line, hmmmmmm) ISBN: 1426200420.
This book was pretty interesting. I actually read this about a month ago and forgot to write the review. So, from what I remember, Judas has a pretty interesting point of view on the whole turning in Jesus to be killed. His point of view seems to be more or less that Jesus wanted him to do it so that he could be released from his body and in a sense meet his destiny. Hmmmm smeels like a new Nightmare on Elmstreet kind of plot. I guess the most eye opening part of this book was the mention of just how many (a lot) of gospels were actually written that didn't make the cut into the bible. Overall, it's worth reading if for nothing else just to serve as a reminder to question absolutely anything that any kind of authority figure tries to get you to swallow. That's my opinion, not the book's.
