Who was Judas Iscariot and what was the real motivation for his betrayal? What if the apostle had wished to carry out the will of God or even of Jesus?A 4th century source testifies to the complexity of the drama of the Passion: the apocryphal Gospel of Judas.

Its publication in 2006 inevitably gave rise to debate.Tobias Churton guides us through this fiery debate with skill and fairness, helping us to understand if the history of the origins of Christianity must really be rewritten.
