THE GOSPEL OF JUDAS - Cable TV Review 4/6/06

This programme has played several times on the National Geographic Channel and was recorded on video by a friend who recommended that I give it a watch. Now you would have thought that the Church would have been up in arms about this and not Dan Brown's "Da Vinci Code" because this is an actual document that is real and dated to the correct period - So instead of fiction it's fact. If this is so - Then Judas Iscariot has been dealt several centuries worth of injustice and the Church has magnified it's crime. If as this programme purports that Jesus did in fact instruct Judas to betray him and did so on his order's then he has become the fall guy for an infamous act that caused him to be reviled and that the gospel's recount an incorrect version of events. Unfortunately the Church has a habit of dogma that only allows it's view and no one else's and can't be questioned or differed from. If this gnostic codex from that early period of man is one of the many that has been discarded from history just what version of events has Christianity been built on? Frighteningly it all comes down to what you actually believe or more dangerously - What version of events? Available on National Geographic DVD "The Gospel Of Judas" is very thought-provoking stuff and has a few extra Special Features attached. (Below is the DVD Cover) you can pick it up on Regions 1, 2 & 4 with more to follow.
