(  )tloeffler | Apr 23, 2009 |   A plausible tale of the life and death of Judas Iscariot. (  )xavierroy | Dec 31, 2007 | Good novelistic attempt to re-tell the story of Jesus of Nazareth through the eyes of Judas. Not an orthodox view of Jesus, but raises questions about the narratives of the four gospels. Frank Maloney (co-author) said his aim was to get people to look again at Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Imaginative presentation with gilt-edged pages and traditional use of red ink makes the book a delight to hold. (  )twitham | Apr 20, 2007 | 0.016 seconds to build listing  no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0312375204, Hardcover)“The very name of ‘Judas’ raises among Christians an instinctive reaction of criticism and condemnation…The betrayal of Judas remains…a mystery.” —Pope Benedict XVI, October 2006 The Gospel According to Judas, by Benjamin Iscariot sheds new light on the the mystery of Judas—including his motives for the betrayal and what happened to him after the crucifixion—by retelling the story of Jesus through the eyes of Judas, using the canonical texts as its basic point of reference. Ostensibly written by Judas’s son, Benjamin, and following the narrative style of the Gospels, this re-creation is provocative, compelling, and controversial. The Gospel According to Judas, by Benjamin Iscariot is the result of an intense collaboration between a storyteller and a scholar: Jeffrey Archer and Francis J. Moloney. Their brilliant work—bold and simple—is a compelling story for twenty-first-century readers, while maintaining an authenticity that would be credible to a first-century Christian or Jew.
