People always knew there was a "Gospel According to Judas" but only several decades ago did someone find it. For hundreds of years it was buried in an Egyptian desert, for several more it was kept in American safety deposit boxes and an Ohio refrigerator. Now its been rescued from obscurity and the flavor of the week in media hype. Today we'll explore Judas, what we know about him, what we don't, what it says in the Gospel and what it might say about our current views of Christianity. Laura's guests are Father Benedict Guevin, Associate Professor of Theology at St. Anselm College and James Robinson, Author of "The Secrets of Judas", Founding Director Emeritus of the Institute for Antiquity and Christianity and Professor Emeritus at Claremont Graduate University.
