The instant New York Times bestseller interpreting the controversial long-lost gospel

The recently unearthed Gospel of Judas is a source of fascination for biblical scholars and lay Christians alike. Now two leading experts on the Gnostic gospels tackle the important questions posed by its discovery, including: How could any Christian imagine Judas to be Jesus' favorite? And what kind of vision of God does the author offer? Working from Karen L. King's brilliant new translation, Elaine Pagels and King provide the context necessary for considering its meaning. Reading Judas plunges into the heart of Christianity itself and will stand as the definitive look at the gospel for years to come.

Review:
Breaks new ground (Time Magazine)

Pagels and King do an excellent job in explaining why mainstream Christianity has got it wrong for so long (The New York Times)

Fascinating ... impressive ... takes such a refreshing approach to its subject (on Sunday Scotland)

Engaging, thought-provoking ... wears its scholarship lightly (Church Times)
