While nonfiction is not usually my go to, I find your description of the book. I am happy to hear that, though the author is offering a new interpretation, he has ample evidence for why he makes such conclusions.

Thanks gali. I really enjoyed this book - as you can tell from this long-winded review!gali wrote: ↑19 Dec 2018, 06:33 A book showing Judas as a savior sounds very refreshing and original. The author offers a new interpretation of the relationship between Jesus and Judas, and based his claims on the Gnostic tradition. It is nice that the writing is clear, well written, and organized. Thank you for the review!

Yes, I bet that's a hard one for people to even entertain as a thought. Not sure what I think about any of that but it certainly sounds worth investigating.The author’s belief in the succession of Masters is, however, another story.
And did I read that sample right? It includes derogatory comments about the work; one complains that the author presents himself as a heroic sage...the typical "I'm the one who knows the truth and nothing can be properly understood until you accept that." Now, I don't know if the author actually presents things with that mindset but I was surprised to see that in the prologue.

I share your belief that Jesus was in "a league of his own." This book's challenge of that is definitely ruffling feathers of faith. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.bb587 wrote: ↑19 Dec 2018, 07:19 Faith is very important to me. While I don't believe the whole bible should be taken literally, I do believe Jesus was the son of God. God has sent others to help and guide us, but Jesus was a league of his own. This book seems researched and convincing, but it's not something I'm interested in reading.
