The Lost Gospel – The Quest for the Gospel of Judas Iscariot – Herbert Krosney (2006, National Geographic) is a fascinating and rigorously researched exploration of one of the most extraordinary discoveries in biblical archaeology of the modern era.
In The Lost Gospel: The Quest for the Gospel of Judas Iscariot, Herbert Krosney traces the full and dramatic story behind the ancient manuscript known as the Gospel of Judas — a text lost for nearly seventeen centuries that, once rediscovered and translated from Coptic, offered a radically different portrait of the apostle Judas Iscariot than the one preserved in the canonical gospels. Krosney’s account reads like an investigative odyssey, covering the papyrus’s discovery in Egypt, its perilous journey through the global antiquities trade, and the painstaking scholarly efforts to authenticate and interpret its contents.
In The Lost Gospel: The Quest for the Gospel of Judas Iscariot, readers are invited into the complex world of Gnostic early Christianity and the debates that shaped the formation of the New Testament canon. Rather than simply recounting the well‑known narrative of betrayal for thirty pieces of silver, the Gospel of Judas presents Judas himself in a surprising role — as a close confidante of Jesus, tasked with a crucial mission in fulfilment of divine purpose. Krosney frames this extraordinary story within the broader context of religious history, offering both the historical significance of the text and an engrossing human tale of scholarly determination.
This National Geographic edition of The Lost Gospel: The Quest for the Gospel of Judas Iscariot is richly illustrated and accessible to both serious students of early Christianity and general readers intrigued by the mysteries of ancient texts. Krosney’s narrative blends academic insight with compelling storytelling, making this not just a work of religious history but also a vivid account of how a long‑forgotten document reshaped modern understanding of one of Christianity’s most infamous figures.
