I ran across this article about the Gospel of Judas over at Christianity Today. It’s worth reading. Here’s a portion.
Well, that sure would change things. If it were true. This "news" isn’t
what makes the Gospel of Judas significant. Rather, thanks to this
text, we can further confirm what we already know about Gnostics—those
pesky heretics condemned by early-church leaders like Irenaeus.
Don’t get confused by mentions of Jesus and Judas. This is no Christian
text. The Gospel of Judas did not circulate until about 150 years after
Jesus died. Let’s put it this way: This new text tells us nothing more
about Jesus’ relationship with Judas than does Jesus Christ Superstar.
