: The book is written in the traditional narrative style of the canonical Gospels, divided into chapters and verses.
: During the trial and crucifixion, the book depicts Judas as the only original disciple who truly stood by Jesus while others fled. Critical Reception
: In this version, Judas does not commit suicide. Instead, he lives to tell his story to his son, surviving the aftermath of the crucifixion.
The book challenges the traditional view of Judas as a greedy traitor:
: The narrative argues against the "thirty pieces of silver" motive, instead depicting Judas as a faithful disciple who was simply "disenchanted" with Jesus's non-militant path.
: Reviewers from The Guardian and other outlets have noted its unique blend of "wooden" biblical prose and contemporary scholarship.
