Putting the Gospel of Judas in perspective
Coming hard on the heels of The Da Vinci Code, for some the Gospel of Judas raises new questions: Did Jesus collude with Judas? And it presses old ones: Was Judas really the bad guy, and are the canonical gospels reliable?
I want to say some things about the actual content of GJu (Gospel of Judas) to put the headlines in perspective, and then to reflect on what this document does and does not tell us.

Evidence for the Resurrection of Jesus Christ
For the New Testament of Acts, the confirmation of historicity is overwhelming. Any attempt to reject its basic historicity, even in matters of detail, must now appear absurd. Roman historians have long taken it for granted. --AN Sherwin-White, Classical Roman Historian

Nothing But the Blood - by Mark Dever
Few other doctrines go to the heart of the Christian faith like the Atonement. Congregations sing at the top of their lungs: "My sin, not in part but the whole, has been nailed to the cross, so I bear it no more, praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!"

The Apologetics of Dorothy L. Sayers
Why do you balk at the doctrine of the Trinity - God the three in One - yet meekly acquiesce when Einstein tells you E=mc2? What makes you suppose that the expression "God ordains" is narrow and bigoted, while your own expression, "Science demands" is taken as an objective statement of fact?

The "Gospel of Judas". An interview with Father Thomas Williams
The document paints Judas Iscariot in a positive light, and describes him as obeying a divine ordinance in handing over Jesus to the authorities for the salvation of the world.
It may well be a copy of the "Gospel of Judas" referred to by St. Irenaeus of Lyons in his work "Against the Heresies," written around A.D. 180.

Holiness Without the Legalism
From the 1840s to the end of the19th century, key leaders believed that the culturally dominant form of Methodism had slipped from its original commitments and formed splinter groups to revive the concern for holiness taught by Methodist founder John Wesley. These groups served the poor and culturally marginalized, and taught them principles of holy living. Some split with the Methodist Episcopal Church over the issue of slavery.
