Judas Iscariot. Heˇ¦s been hated and reviled through the ages as Jesus Christˇ¦s betrayer ˇV the close friend who sells him out for 30 pieces of silver. But history also records other information about Judas Iscariot. One such reference was written in 180 by an influential Church Father named St. Irenaeus who railed against the Gospel of Judas for depicting the last days of Jesus from the perspective of the disgraced apostle. In its pages, Judas is Christˇ¦s favorite. Itˇ¦s a startlingly different story than the one handed down through the ages. Once it was denounced as heresy, the Gospel of Judas faded from sight. It became one of historyˇ¦s forgotten manuscripts.
