I give the FReepers two thumbs up on this. Sure, the age of the document can be proved. It’s going to be much harder to prove the information in it.

Actually, the age of the document tends to disprove the information in it. While the Canonical Gospels circulated during the lifetime of many who would have had personal knowledge of the events described, at least 8 or so generations had passed after the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ before the gospel of judas was authored.

Were someone, today to pretend to author the autobiography of their great, great, great, great, great grandfather would these same experts not be just a little bit skeptical?
