The long-lost Gospel According to Judas is found and authenticity is verified

[pegkerr]

"Today the Gospel of Judas got its first public outing at a news conference, and it is on display at the National Geographic Society in Washington, D.C. It will eventually return to Egypt to be housed in Cairo's Coptic Museum. It is also available online, in Coptic and English, and is the cover story of the new National Geographic magazine.

But while the document is a real one, is what it claims also true? Did the New Testament Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John get it wrong? Did Jesus ask Judas to betray him?"

Read the entire story here.

Fascinating.

Woah, this is interesting. I'd really like to read it. I've always been under the impression that Judas may have been mythological. I've heard this several places, don't ask me where.


Also, may I say that I'm pointedly NOT going to mention anything about how mayhap Judas made an Unbreakable Vow of some sort or any reference to Snape. Erm. Except just then. ;)
