Good insites to the facts of how the gospel can be altered. Good reasoning for why the bible should stand alone as the word of God.

Great Book! I'm a little confused about the words of a prior reviwer said about this book being hard to read, or being "over my head." I was a high school drop out, and I found every word in this book to be very easily readible. In fact, this is the first time reading an NT Wright book. I find that his stlye of writing totally meshes with my reading style. I will definately pick up more books of his. On to the book itself. This book is a great resource to nay sayers or skeptics who only know what they hear or see on TV about Jesus and early christianity. This book gave me ALOT (thought I knew all there was to know) more insight on who the Gnostics were in the early centuries. Very well written, easy to read, and I would recommend this to ANYONE, including skeptics. Great addition to my library and a very mind refreshing read. 5 Stars!!!

JUDAS WAS AMOUNG OTHER THINGS, A SELF PROMOTING LIAR. THIS BOOK IS WRITTEN FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE DOGMATIC CHURCH. FACTUAL POINTS ARE MADE, FILTERED THROUGH CENTURIES OF MAN MADE CHURCH LAW. THE BOOK FORGETS THAT JESUS LOVES JUDAS AS HE LOVES ALL OF US. PRAISE GOD

Excellent!
Easy to read, short and to the point, with solid exegesis!
At that price, it's a steal!

Excellent book, specially for the price. Quick easy read and very informative on the subject of the Gospel of Judas and gnostic thought. Wright slips out some opinions on American Christianity that might offend some at the end of the book, but frankly he is probably right. American culture does seem to lean towards a gnostic world view.

N. T. Wright does a masterful job in this small volume to show how the desire for the fantastic leavse us empty of that which is truly fantastic, the gospel of Jesus Christ. He examines the mindset that promotes the gnostic viiew as a viable alternative, and shows how gnosticism is antithetical to the very world the gnostics are trying to build.
He argues for the gospel as declared by the Synoptics and John, and preached by Paul, describing its impact on the 1st century, and its enduring power in the 21st. Gnosticism, on the other hand is shown to be the same "salvation by humanity," "salvation by works," or really, humanism, bereft of an radical power to change the human downward spiral.
It is readable, logical, and insightful, and should be on every believers shelf.

Thank you for writing this book and please keep them coming. So very helpful for the lay person to see the arguments for what they are.
