商品描述内容简介Discover the true meaning of the lost Gospel of Judas ...Lost for 1,600 years, the "Gospel of Judas" has only now had its meaning unlocked for readers today. Its startling text included the claim that not only was Judas the favoured disciple of Jesus, but also that Judas was killed by the other disciples. Was Judas a betrayer or a loyal disciple? Did he write this shocking document? And what does it mean for us today? In "Reading Judas" Elaine Pagels and Karen L. King, world-renowned experts in religious texts, explore the meanings of this contentious gospel in detail. Here they reveal a gospel that, far from seeing Jesus' death as a sacrifice for humanity's sins, opposes the idea that God desires martyrdom and instead points towards a faith that is based on inner spiritual life. Containing a new translation of the "Gospel of Judas" from the original Coptic, "Reading Judas" radically challenges our notions of the Christian faith.媒体推荐
