One of the greatest discoveries in Judeo-Christian
archaeology, the Gospel of Judas did not head straight to a
museum, or even to the library of a rich collector. The
gospel's removal from its burial place was just the
beginning of a bizarre cloak-and-dagger journey. The ancient manuscript, treated like a piece of merchandise,
would be shopped around on three continents over the next
twenty-five years, its contents glimpsed only a few times
between long periods of inactivity in far from ideal storage
conditions. In this compelling and exhaustively researched
account, Herbert Krosney chronicles the quest for the Gospel
of Judas, its discovery, and eventual modern publication.
