The author dissects Jesus' relationship with Judas and questions the role of the alleged betrayal. The book is well-researched and will leave readers with plenty to ponder.

This is a unique book that gives a new interpretation to the relation between Jesus and Judas. Congratulations BOTD!

The first book that I read from this community was The Biblical Clock by Daniel Friedmann and Dania Sheldon. This book opened my eyes to Christianity and religion as a whole. Now, going through this review I got to be introduced to another aspect of the Christian Bible that is so embedded in us that we accept it as it is without questioning anything. I will definitely give this book a try as it offers brilliant insights into the believes held by Christians. Thank you for such a well-written review. Brilliant work there.

Today's writer is of the opinion that the history of Jesus and Judas may have been misinterpreted. I'm certain there would be eye-opening information in here, but I'll pass on today's BOTD.

Wahler is not entirely alone in his progressive positions. Some cursory research on my part revealed that there is growing consensus among religious scholars for Wahler’s view of Judas as beloved and obedient disciple, rather than betrayer.

Impressive! I like that you went to check. Religions have always been a point of interest and this one looks like an interesting take on Christianity. Thank you for such a great review.

Though I don't read books about religion, your review sounds like this book would interest people who have an open mind about the relationship between Jesus and Judas. Thank you.

I have to admit that this book is completely over my head however you have done a good job of making it seem not too intimidating. Nice job on the review.

Robert Wahler"s book sheds new light on the story of Judas and his relationship with Jesus Christ. The book challenges the tradition as we know it and there's likely going to be arguments and counter-arguments by religious scholars and believers. Your review was detailed and informative.

This is a new perspective of viewing the narration of Judas. I have always interpreted the story as betrayal by Judas. This is new and interesting. This book is suitable to anyone who wants to gain a new perspective on the story. Congrats BOTD!

I would be leery that after all these years this one guy decides that Judas has been misinterrupted. I'm not saying it couldn't be true, but would be interested in some of the research. Thank you for an informative review.

I love this review. The book is very daring in its thesis and it is lovely to see the challenge to the norms. I believe the controversy that is this book is one worth taking a look into. Thank you for a lovely review!

I am fascinated by this topic, and your review has stimulated my interest in this book. I am eager to see the texts that the author uses as source material for his conclusions. I couldn't have asked for a more thorough review - great work!

This is quite a controversial and curious read that I cannot wait to read. An alternate picture of who Judas was and a mind blowing conclusion as well. This must be quite a debate and read. Congratulations on the BOTD.
