Title: mostly gnostic fantasy
Product review: Dispite all the hype, the small volume is yet another of those third or fourth century "mystic" manuals of the so-called secret teachings of Jesus, who says we all have our own star, and instead of the ethical sayings of Jesus, the focus in on who does the god really like. Speculation as to what Judas thought and when he thought it seems to be the only new thing in this. Its a speculation one can find in the real Gospels and traces in such modern works as Jesus Christ Superstar and Godspell. There really is not much new or useful in this. Sure, the Apostles didm't understand Jesus. But the claim that Judas did is undone by all mystic claptrap in the rest of this thin volume. If you are looking for another Gospel, try Thomas' - at least in it there is some things to think about.
