Gospel of Judas unvieled

Already, some scholars are saying that this Gospel sheds new light on the historical relationship between Jesus and Judas. They find strands of secret Jewish mysticism running through the beliefs expressed by some branches of early Christianity.

But others ("mainstream" Christianity?) say the text is merely one more scripture produced by a marginalized Christian cult of Gnostics, who lived so many years after Jesus' day that they could not possibly produce anything accurate about his life.

As opposed to the authors of the cannonized gospels? Let's see...when did the supposed authors of the books of the New Testament live and write? If memory serves, the earliest of the Big 4 was written around 70 CE (and that's generous) which would be a full generation after Jesus' supposed crucifixion. (Or is it crucifiction!) Yes, not ever having met the guy, they clearly produced an accurate account of Jesus' life.

Well, at least they're finally understanding some of the rationale for a fallible Bible. Now, if they'd only apply their new-found grasp of logic to their own traditions.
