I've always tended to pass over his story because it makes me uncomfortable on so many levels. You've given me reason to look at both Judas and Jesus again, in a different way.toni p1https://www.blogger.com/profile/14888002688919296589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12384117.post-36468672009027140722013-03-28T12:12:19.955-04:002013-03-28T12:12:19.955-04:00This is lovely.

May I add a literary point?<br />Others ( e.g. Dr. Michael Cook) have shown that the Judas incident is a late addition to the Gospel narrative and, since the very name is synonymous with the name of the Jewish nation, Judea, the betrayal was added further to blame the Jews, through the person of Judas, for the Rabbi Jonathan Gerardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14427882460402622018noreply@blogger.com
