The Gospel According to Judas is a 2007 novella by Jeffrey Archer and Frank Moloney which presents the events of the New Testament through the eyes of Judas Iscariot.

Reception and significance

[edit]

In her book The Historical Jesus and the Literary Imagination 1860–1920, Jennifer Stevens cites The Gospel According to Judas as a recent "low" in the history of representations of Jesus in fiction, contrasted with the recent "high" of Jim Crace's novel Quarantine.[1]
