Description
From a #1 New York Times-bestselling author: The story of Judas Iscariot and the stunning betrayal that changed the course of history. One of the great dramas of the biblical era is brought to thrilling new life in this epic novel told from the unique perspective of Judas himself. This is the story of Judas the myth, condemned by Dante to the most terrifying circle of Hell. Judas the man, the son of wealth and power who fought to suppress the lusts of the flesh and the sin of pride, and show more became one of the twelve original disciples of Jesus Christ; and Judas the apostle, victim of a diabolical lie, history's arch traitor, who sold his Lord for thirty pieces of silver, and sealed his fate with a kiss. From Judas's years as the young rebel of an affluent family undone by his own idealism through his victimization by Pontius Pilate to the crucifixion and Christ's resurrection. show lessTags

De entre las ruinas de la Biblioteca de Alejandría, Iberías, un monje egipcio cristiano, recupera un manuscrito milagrosamente salvado de las llamas. Escondido bajo su túnica, se lo lleva al Valle de los Reyes para leerlo lejos de miradas indiscretas. Su sorpresa no podría ser mayor: escrito en un griego muy culto, el manuscrito es el diario de Judas Iscariote. En su lectura, Iberías descubre que Judas era hijo de una familia judía y farisea, y no el pobre ladrón que todos creían que era. La pobreza de Judas era en realidad voluntaria. Según el manuscrito, se había desprendido de todas sus riquezas para seguir al Mesías. Pero ésta no es más que la primera sorpresa que Iberías se lleva con esta lectura que le revelará a un show more Judas bajo un punto de vista mucho más humano. show less
