The Truth About the Gospel of Judas

How does the Gospel of Judas mesh with LDS beliefs?

In recent months, the news media have focused intensively on the discovery of the so-called “lost Gospel” — the Gospel of Judas. It has been the cover story of Time and Newsweek magazines, and most recently, National Geographic released a documentary about it.

The furor raised in scholarly and religious circles has caused many Latter-day Saints to wonder:

• What is the Gospel of Judas and how was it discovered?
• Does it contain any new information about the Savior?
• Is there any reason to believe that Jesus asked Judas to betray him?
• Was Judas given secret knowledge by Jesus, knowledge that established Judas as superior to the eleven other Apostles?
• Is the Gospel of Judas an authentic document or perhaps a forgery?

In this CD, five outstanding LDS New Testament scholars use a round-table discussion format to address these intriguing questions and many others. It is a discussion that you will find fascinating and enlightening.
