Re: Official Review: Misreading Judas by Robert Wahler
The Gnostic Gospel of Judas was likely composed by second-century Gnostic Christians. The surprisingly intact papyrus containing the text first surfaced publicly in 1970. It reveals conversations between Jesus and Judas Iscariot. Wahler claims no one has correctly translated the Gospel of Judas until his research emerged. He faults the Christian scholars who initially interpreted the text, saying they were ignorant to the Gnostic orientation necessary to adequately understand the ancient writings. In Eastern spiritual traditions, mysticism is the practice of spiritual knowing (gnosis) through meditation and other vehicles for merging with Spirit. A longtime student of Eastern mysticism, Wahler insists the story of Judas and all of the Gnostic Gospels must be interpreted through the lens of mysticism.
An interesting tale that I find hard to believe given by belief in Catholicism and the teachings of Jesus. Much better than the non-believer beliefs. God official review.

I found a new perspective and interesting premise between Jesus and judas.
Sounds very interesting.
Thanks for detailed review
