You may have seen the displays in Waterstones relating to the ‘Gospel of Judas’, a third century document, which some have claimed, shows what Jesus’ teaching really concerned. Tom Wright, the brilliant New Testament scholar and bishop, has answered the claims in a readable style that enable the reader to have greater confidence in the four gospels contained in Scripture. He allows us to see how the Gospel of Judas actually concerns itself with a faith that wants to escape the world, whereas the Gospel of Jesus concerns itself with the transformation of the world.
