The Betrayal of Judas
"Did a 'dream team' of biblical scholars mislead millions?"
"...scholarly malpractice..." - great phrase!
"They would have to explain to reporters, repeatedly, that the Gospel of Judas was probably written in the second century, long after the actual Judas was dead. There is no scholarly debate over whether the conversations in the gospel actually took place. Everyone agrees that it's fiction, but it's fiction that reveals how a certain sect of Christians viewed the meaning of the crucifixion and the role of Jesus' disciples."
And it gets worse. Much, much worse. So much for the 'blockbuster'...
