This fascinating book sifts the evidence for the relationship of the disciple Judas with Jesus and startlingly concludes that in the earliest sources Judas was not a traitor. The book traces the the ways in which Judas is portrayed by the four writers of the Gospels, showing how the picture was increasingly demonized as the later Gospels were written.
