The 'Gospel of Judas' was discovered in the 1970's and took nearly 30 years to reach the public domain and critical analysis. Now Tom Wright turns his attention to this fascinating manuscript. He asks what it tells us about ancient Gnosticism and about the modern enthusiasm for reconnecting with it. In considering the 'Gospel of Judas' as a spectacularly interesting archaeological find…
World renowned theologian Tom Wright gives his scholarly reaction and response to the Gospel of Judas debate. In his 2006 Easter address, Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury, condemned the credibility of the gospel, saying, "This is a demonstrably late text which simply parallels a large number of quite well-known works from the more eccentric fringes of the early century Church." Here, the Bishop of Durham offers his masterful account of this controversial topic.
