Misreading Judas by Robert Wahler is meant to be a religious work which dives into the New Testament by giving another perspective on it. For those who are unfamiliar with the new Testament , this specifically mentions the story of when Judas hands over Jesus to his death. In most people's understanding the act of Judas giving Jews away is a sign of betrayal in a way.However Robert Wahler aims at convincing readers the opposite of what is considered normal when reading the New Testament as it relates to Judas.

I really enjoyed reading this book because it offers a new perspective and offers a new take on the New Testament. Being that this is a religious book, I would highly recommend this book. One of the key aspects of this particular piece is this subtle lesson. The lesson which Jesus is trying to teach people is that everyone has a purpose and when that purpose is fulfilled than somebody is always replacing you to fulfill another part of the puzzle.

I don't really see any issues with this book. The only pattern that I normally see with religious books is that they tend to be a lot longer and more in depth and authors are always coming up with new takes on the same material. As far as content goes, I think that the author nailed it in terms of providing the readers adequate information which would help guide them in their path of righteousness.I also feel like every couple of years or so there will be something in which needs to be changed to be more relevant as to what is going so we don't step on toes.

I would this give this work a rating of 4 out of 4 primarily because it gives good examples as to how the story can be construed a different way. I also like that is piece taught me a valuable lesson as to how to live a more peaceful life. It also taught me to allow myself to accept new people to come into my life when I need something that another person has, but another person doesn't.

The target audience for this book would be anyone who kinda already understands the bible a bit. This is perfect for anyone who is maybe and school and needs some extra help in understanding the story through a new lens . I would also recommend this book for anyone who's aim is to understand some of the lessons as said through these texts.
