Judas
Description
The gospels speak of a hateful individual named Judas. Although he was one of the twelve disciples, he betrayed Jesus and led him to his death. Is this betrayal based on historical fact? Who was Judas: a renegade, an extremist, or an ally? Is he called Iscariot because he came from a village in Judea near Jerusalem? Was Judas presented as the traitor because he was the only Judean among the group of Galileans? Was Jesus supposedly betrayed by all Judea, in the name of Judas? Is he not the quintessential Jew, the embodiment of Judaism after the Christians' break with the Synagogue? How many Judases are there in the gospels? One? Two? Three? Judas, son of Simon, Judas Iscariot, Jude, the brother of Jesus, etc.?
