Thanks for the link. Now what NG does not discuss is the connection between Judas and the Gnostic Church. Now the NG show alludes to it by stating that many Christians were eager to martyr themselves (throw themselves to the Romans lions) so that they may enter into a special relationship with Christ.
Pardon my HTTP ignorance, but here's a link of the "Gospel of Judas".
