The Pope recently referred to the continuing ‘mystery of Judas'.This intriguing book - the result of an intense collaboration between oneof the world's most popular storytellers and one of the world's leadingbiblical scholars - throws a new light on the events leading up to thegreat betrayal. This book, presented in gospel style with two-colour text,ribbon marker and gilded edges, and ostensibly written by the son of Judas,is a highly readable and gripping account of the stories of Jesus andJudas, which will open a whole new debate among secular and religiousreaders. The project is as bold as it is simple: Archer has writtena story for twenty-first-century readers, while Moloney has ensured theresult is credible to a first-century Christian or Jew.
