    Another winner from a brilliant writer!
  

*by A***E on Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2014*

Simon Mawer is brilliant  and definitely up there among my favourite writers.The Gospel of Judas is the fourth book I have read by this writer and he never disappoints.The story line centres around Leo,a catholic priest who has an affair with a married woman and the dire consequences of that affair. He plays a leading role in translating an ancient scroll which is believed to be written by Judas and there are consequences to that. As with other stories by Mawer we are taken back in time (World war 2) to be introduced to Leo's mother which provides another insight into Leo. The story is complex in many ways which provide the reader with much opportunity for thought.Leo was perhaps difficult to place, his character not very well defined, I felt, but small criticism for a wonderful book.I love Simon Mawer's use of language which he obviously loves to play with, and I suspect he has a deep respect and liking for women! (Even though some of them are such manipulative wenches!)I recommend highly The Gospel of Judas to anyone who enjoys intelligent but easy to read literature.

    A Great Premise That Goes Absolutely Nowhere.
  

*by S***Y on Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2002*

The initial premise of the book was so great that I couldn't wait to read it, by the time I got to the end I couldn't belive that I had read it.  The flash backs did nothing to move the book forward or to explain anything that happened later. The priest and his mistress sub-plot didn't either. The central issue of what finding a document like a gospel written by the hand of Judas Iscariot would mean to Christianity was treated with a cop-out sort of ending.  Also the fact of Judas being alive after the crucificion when two different gospels in the bible give two completely different accounts of the death of Judas would also seem to be an interesting avenue to explore, since this gospel seems to contradict both accounts as much as they contradict themselves.  In the long run the revalation of something like a gspel written by Judas would probably not change anyones ideas about religion. People who don't belive would have a lit tle more confirmation of their disbelief and people who did believe would write it off as a hoax, but the idea could have been explored in a much better fashion.

    Must read

This is a must to read. As said, " The truth always finds the light".  It is wonderful. Marsha, Enchanticals
