effort, in collaboration with the Maecenas Foundation for Ancient Art
and the Waitt Institute for Historical Discovery, to authenticate,
conserve, and translate a 66-page codex, which contains a text called
James (also known as First Apocalypse of James), the Letter of Peter
to Philip, a fragment of a text that scholars are provisionally
calling Book of Allogenes, and the only known surviving copy of the
Gospel of Judas.
The Gospel of Judas gives a different view of the relationship between
Jesus and Judas, offering new insights into the disciple who betrayed
Jesus. Unlike the accounts in the canonical Gospels of Matthew, Mark,
Luke, and John, in which Judas is portrayed as a reviled traitor, this
newly discovered Gospel portrays Judas as acting at Jesus' request
when he hands Jesus over to the authorities.
