The Gospel of Judas DVD
He's one of the most hated men in history: Judas Iscariot, the apostle who betrayed Jesus. For centuries, his name has meant treachery and deceit. Hidden for nearly two thousand years, an ancient Gospel emerges from the sands of Egypt that tells a very different version of the last days of Jesus and questions the portrait of Judas Iscariot as the evil apostle.
Join National Geographic and a team of biblical detectives as they race to determine the authenticity of this ancient document, piecing together its delicate pages before they turn to dust. With movie-quality dramatizations and insightful analysis by the world's foremost experts, The Gospel of Judas reveals to the modern world a new account of Jesus's betrayal.
Bonus features: 40 additional minutes of interviews; Short: Authenticating the Gospel; interactive timeline.

Comments about The Gospel of Judas DVD:
I feel that the National Geographic presentation of the Judas Gospel was an excellent source of historical information. It gave me a better understanding of the different sects which composed the early followers of Christ and made it more clear to me why this gospel was not included in the more orthodox writings of our Bible.

- Extended infomercial
