I watched a program on the Gospel of Judas. In response to whether this noncanonical gospel is important, a priest/reverend responded with this (paraphrase): I can't imagine anyone wanting or needing more than Mark, Matthew, Luke and John. He made it seem preposterous that a noncanonical gospel woul ...

Robert Eisenman has updated and republished his Huffington Post piece on " Redemonizing Judas." I mention this not because I think it is a good article (things are quite mixed up in his article), but because again I am characterized by Eisenman as a "conservative" scholar who thinks the NT gospels a ...

There are so many distortions of our Christian life and faith that were around sometimes and even long time ago which can still be felt even today. I read lots of them.
