It was found in 1970. Even to my semi-educated, math resistant mind, that's hardly new! Oh, and look into Gnostics and their politics.

In John, Jesus tells Judas "Go and do what plan to do". I thin the writer mistakes this command for permission.

Gnosticism was certainly not Christian but I'm not surprised National Geographic might claim it is. It's certainly not the organization it used to be.
For a better perspective -

Lost for almost 1,700 years, a manuscript entitled "Gospel of Judas" is putting a new spin on the case of the biblical bad guy, maintaining that Jesus actually asked disciple Judas to betray him. Would seem Mr. Iscariot really didn't have a whole lot time to talk with reporters [scribes] between kissing and throwing money all over the floor?

There is a longer article on this at a link on Lucianne.com
Hardly earthshaking. There are a whole host of 2nd and 3rd century forgeries offered up as authentic texts. (My favorite being the Book of Adam and Eve!) I suspect the Book of Judas is just a late arrival to the group. But that won't prevent liberal theology scholars for propounding one ridiculous theory or another. That's hardly surprising as well.

Wow. I guess Sid Blumenthal used to work for Judas, too.

Authenticated by a bunch of evolutionists. No bias here ...

From the article...
"The codex has been authenticated as a genuine work of ancient Christian apocryphal literature on five fronts: radiocarbon dating, ink analysis, multispectral imaging, contextual evidence and paleographic evidence," said Terry Garcia, executive vice president for Mission Programs for the National Geographic Society..
Yep...right there it is. The National Geographic Society.
I'm not taking a stab at you. I'm taking a stab at National Geographic. They've been at the forefront of pushing evolutionism for years. Now suddenly, they seem to have become Bible experts?! ...or rather experts on those works that were deemed not to be God inspired.
This is a bit like rotating out Israeli Supreme Court Justices with Islamic terrorists, and then being good with their verdicts.

Didn't Judas commit suicide shortly after Jesus' death? Did he have time to write a Gospel?

Perhaps. See my profile.
I take it you've lurked a while, or are a retread based on your even knowing what IBTZ means.
Your profile doesn't say one way or the other.

This could be interesting it this book has not been altered like all of the rest of the Bibble in the early 300's by the church.
