The Gospel of Judas, Continued
For all you Gnostic Gospel Geeks (G3) like myself, here are two recent and worthwhile articles about the continuing controversy over The Gospel of Judas:
Betrayed by the Media: GetReligion blogger Mollie Ziegler takes a look at a recent analysis by The Chronicle of Higher Education
The Case for Judas, Continued: Harold Attridge reviews two books about Judas for The New York Review of Books
Kato the Gnostic Cat appears unconcerned about the controversy. He is calmly doing his morning yoga routine on the sofa.

I think the cat has the best attitude; stre-e-e-tch.
It is time to widen our belief system, and we seem to be in no way short on challenges to do so.
The new writings of and about Judas being one of them.
It has alwyas struck me that, since there is so much emphesesis on the crucifixion, shouldn't we be grateful to the man who put it in motion? And if Jesus knew the karma that would be put to this man, wouldn't he be very careful whom he asked to take on the task? Wouldn't that be a very close friend, a man he trusted, a man who had been trained in the secrets Jesus taught?
I think we are ready to expand the stories. We need to include the timeframe they lived in, the mythologies and religion in existence at the time, the political arena they stepped into. And the impact the Roman occupation had on the plans Jesus had for his mission.
Thanks for a very personal and heartwarming site. I like bears. I'm in a current lovely relationship with one.
Nice to meet a fellow blogger.

The legend of J. the priest continues. "[Scott] McClelland was reportedly paid $75,000 for his tome. A White House staffer referenced the Bible (*gasp*) in response by telling the media, "Ironically, in today's dollars that amount is worth exactly 30 pieces of silver."
