Synopsis
Scholars of Coptic, the Bible and Christian studies, ecclesiastical history and patristics, Egyptology, and related disciplines present the short text and massive commentary and speculation around the manuscript discovered in Egypt during the 1970s, part of a papyrus codex, and published for the first time in 2006. The essays discuss the story of Codex Tchacos and the Gospel of Judas, the gospel's alternative vision, its relation to other gospels, the gnostic connection, whether Judas was a hero or villain, and Irenaeus of Lyon. Since the 2006 edition, some of the loose fragments have been placed, and some changes were adopted by the translation team. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc. , Portland, OR (booknews. com)
