Oh, one of the interesting things about the Gospel of Judas is that the author of the text was clearly writing it to attack the orthodox Christians of his day. So, in the text he makes numerous references to the conduct, teaching and rites of Christians of the time.

So while The Gospel of Judas is useless when it comes to discovering details of Jesus of Nazareth's biography and ministry, it is a biased but still informative window into the world of 2nd century Christianity.

Jesus kinda attacked the orthodoxy of his day too didn't he?
