This seems like an interesting book analysing the history of Judas and telling the story in a different light. I do agree that there are many spiritual Masters e.g. many religions have their own so it makes sense. However, I had never thought of Judas as one. Thanks for a great review! And congrats to the author on BOTD!

I think the number of views about the messiah are as varied as the number of religious sects in the world. I think this is an insightful look into this issue.

Wahler's emphasis on understanding the Gnostic orientation necessary to interpret the Gospel of Judas adds depth to his argument. The comparative analysis with Eastern spiritual teachings adds another layer of insight. The review highlights the book's dense but convincing logic. #Compelling

Interesting but seems to be controversial. These sensitive claims about Jesus and Judas may offend a lot of people. I really can't take a stand now until I have read the book and taken time to assess certain things. I would like to know the areas the Christian scholars got the interpretation of the Gospel of Judas wrong, and I would like to know more about this gnosticism.

Today's book of the day isn't my kind of book. But I think the author has done great work by giving a different perspective to the story of Judas. Congrats on #BOTD!

The book challenges traditional beliefs about Jesus and Judas by offering a unique perspective based on Gnostic texts. While his ideas are intriguing, it is important to approach them with skepticism and consider the perspectives of other scholars.

I have read many religious books but have never come across anyone questioning our understanding of the matter. I think this book is offering us a new perspective and it would be very interesting to read what the author has to say.

I may not agree with everything the writer has depicted or come to conclusion. But I enjoyed the "Debate" as referred to in the review. I like how the writer analyzed historical facts and information, the narration is impressive and collective with much information in the minimal amount of page provided. Thank you for the review, I enjoy the information you compiled and presented about the read.
