"the book was hard to read in the beginning... extremely techinical unless you are a versed theologian and archeologist... but as it progressed, i didnt want to put it down, and it opened my eyes and my heart to some tough questions."

" Pretty good book. Not too long but academic in its nature. Author does a good job explaining the book for the lay audience but ultimately sheds little light on early Christian thought. "
— Jason, 1/29/2014 -
" Fascinating comparison of how the four gospels viewed Jesus and Judas. Good discription of Agnostism. "
— Virginia, 1/16/2014 -
" Pretty good introduction to Gnosticism. "
— Ryan, 1/7/2014 -
" If you are curious about this gospel, I'd recommend the Pagels book on the Gospel of JI. "
— Bob, 12/22/2013 -
" just awful...nothing even morally redeeming about this book. Try other gnostic texts. "
— Vincent, 12/15/2013 -
" Overall interesting - the style was a bit...well, it felt like he had given the lectures in some form or another and just transcribed them (and not really edited them) which was oddly distracting. "
— Ryan, 11/25/2013 -
" As with all of Bart D. Ehrman's books, this is a must-read to anyone who is at all interested in Christianity. "
— Chris, 10/24/2013 -
" Very interesting! I came to the conclusion quite early on, that Judas was...not so much making his story up, but giving himself an "alibi' - for want of a better word. He'd had a lot of years to get it 'right' after all! "
— Cathy, 10/13/2013 -
" Just started reading it, really enjoying it so far..good for procrastination... "
— Ari-elf, 3/7/2013 -
" So he did this for the word to be fullfilled. This is a gnostic gospel -One half of my brain is suspended in disbelief - the other in belief. An interesting read - gets a little lazy toward the end. "
— Joyce, 9/16/2012 -
" A good read, will open your mind to the faith and allow your mind to see things from another perspective you may have not seen before. Highly recommended... "
— Stratos, 7/30/2011 -
" Expected more of this as well... "
— Kipi, 6/30/2011 -
" hard to grasp as much is destroyed or missing. Do I believe its the real thing? Umm... "
— Sly, 4/26/2011 -
" Excellent analysis of the 3rd century gnostic manuscript. "
— Michael, 10/19/2010 -
" Very interesting history; lots of guess work like any study of the religious period but some truly fascinating facts. "
— Chris, 10/13/2010 -

" Excellent! Great Book. Very intresting to know how differently Jesus and Judas are viewed by various people. <br/>Gnostic way of thinking is very closer to Hindusim. "
