The Gospel of Judas

內容簡介

內容簡介 For 1,600 years its message lay hidden. When the bound papyrus pages of this lost gospel finally reached scholars who could unlock its meaning, they were astounded. Here was a gospel that had not been seen since the early days of Christianity, and which few experts had even thought existed–a gospel told from the perspective of Judas Iscariot, history’s ultimate traitor. And far from being a villain, the Judas that emerges in its pages is a hero.In this radical reinterpretation, Jesus asks Judas to betray him. In contrast to the New Testament Gospels, Judas Iscariot is presented as a role model for all those who wish to be disciples of Jesus. He is the one apostle who truly understands Jesus.This volume is the first publication of the remarkable gospel since it was condemned as heresy by early Church leaders, most notably by St. Irenaeus, in 180. Hidden away in a cavern in Middle Egypt, the codex (or book) containing the gospel was discovered by farmers in the 1970s. In the intervening years the papyrus codex was bought and sold by antiquities traders, hidden away, and carried across three continents, all the while suffering damage that reduced much of it to fragments. In 2001, it finally found its way into the hands of a team of experts who would painstakingly reassemble and restore it.The Gospel of Judas has been translated from its original Coptic in clear prose, and is accompanied by commentary that explains its fascinating history in the context of the early Church, offering a whole new way of understanding the message of Jesus Christ.

各界推薦

各界推薦 猶大福音「The Gospel of Judas」失落已經近2000年，近日因為「國家地理學會」(National Geographic Society)公佈的新譯本、並製成節目播出，而受到大眾的注目，引起教徒和非教徒的議論。 本書是《The Gospel of Judas》的譯本，紀錄了耶穌與猶大的對話，內容可認為是「猶大」這個著名的叛徒行為平反，也為現行聖經四大福音書補充了不同的資訊，為早期基督教故事提供不同的看法。猶大原來不是叛徒，沒有出賣耶穌。相反，他是最受耶穌賞識的門生。當時猶大的行為，是依照耶穌的旨意去做，因而背上了數千年的惡名。 透過科技鑑定技術，專家證實這部出土的《The Gospel of Judas》是古代之手抄本，但是對於內容的直實性現代的人們仍然無從稽考。The Gospel of Judas》的重新面世被稱為和「死海古卷Dead Sea Scrolls」、在埃及Nag Hammadi 拿戈瑪第的Gnostic Gospels同樣的驚人且重要。
