Among other horrors, JCSS glorifies Judas Iscariot.

I think it makes him out to be a whiny nutcase who is P.O.d at Christ because Christ is getting more attention than Judas is, especially from the ladies. Later he allows himself to be used by the Priests. When he finally wakes up he is overcome by his sorrow and runs off to commit suicide. I don't see anything glorius in that.

But, each can interpret it his own way.

Shalom.

In an interview with Tim Rice, he said that they wanted to tell the story from the point of view of why Judas did what he did.

It makes Judas out as someone who is more activist in helping the poor and less interested in the "message."

Woman, your fine ointment, brand new and expensive, should have been saved for the poor. People who are hungry, people who are starving, matter more than your feet and hair.
