I don’t suppose it ever occurred to anyone that Judas didn’t have enough time to write it between the time he betrayed Jesus and the time he committed suicide.
Parody my foot. I can’t believe what so-called intellectual types fall for. I guess it comes from not knowing Scripture.
None of the gospels were written by the apostle they are named after (with the possible exception of Luke / Acts wich were originaly one book). The books of the bible written most closely to thife of Chirst are those written by Paul - the epistles, followed then - chronologically - Mark, Matthew, John, Luke. The word Gospel means good news. The books are titled “the good news according to...” and were written by followers of the particular disciples, often many years later.
It doesn’t claim Judas wrote it (see below). Anyway - much ado about nothing as far as I am concerned.
“It is a gospel parody about a “demon” Judas written by a particular group of Gnostic Christians who lived in the second century. “
Excellent point! Freeper logic shoots down a college professor and National Geographic in one fell swoop!
HuH?
Evidently it occurred to the author.
"It is a gospel parody about a "demon" Judas written by a particular group of Gnostic Christians who lived in the second century."
This is extra-Scriptural materials ~ Gnostic stuff in fact. It really hasn’t got anything to do with Christianity.
Note:
The “Gospel of Judas” is NOT Scripture!
That's the first thing I thought.
