Gospel of Judas - a start
The '''Gospel of Judas''' is a [[Gnostic]] gospel. It was discovered in an antiquities market and published in October 2006 by the [[National Geographic]] Society. It is not a part of any Cannon [[Scripture]] and was written well into the third century AD well after the [[New Testament]] Gospels.
Like many Gnostic works, the Gospel of Judas claims to be a "secret account of the revelation that Jesus spoke in conversation with [[Judas Iscariot]]." The book is structrally different than the narrative accounts in the other gospels as it is a series of dialogues or sayings of people.
Most Gnostic teaching involved special "''Gnosis''" or a deep special knowledge that is not apparent to the unenlightened. This contrary to the core and very simple message of [[Jesus]] preached in the other gospels and new testament that people need a faith in Jesus Christ alone.
