The Lost Gospel of Judas Iscariot is a thorough examination of the newly discovered Gospel of Judas, discussing how the document came to light, what the account contains, how it relates to other early Christian texts, and why it is so important for our understanding of Christianity.

Argues that Jesus, like many of his later followers, proclaimed that God was soon to intervene in human affairs and bring all of history to a screeching halt. Through a careful evaluation of the New Testament Gospels and other sources, the author shows why Jesus should be understood as an apocalyptic prophet.
