Judas : the troubling history of the renegade apostle
Stanford, Peter, 1961-2015
Book
In this fascinating historical and cultural biography, writer and broadcaster Peter Stanford deconstructs that most vilified of Bible characters: Judas Iscariot, who famously betrayed Jesus with a kiss. Beginning with the gospel accounts, he explores 2000 years of cultural and theological history to investigate how the very name Judas came to be synonymous with betrayal and, ultimately, human evil.
