The Gospel of Judas inscribes the inquiry of Christianity’s mythical founding and creations are bounded by Judas’ conversation with Jesus Christ. Judas, the thirteenth disciple of Jesus, institutes a story of insecurity and curiosity that drives the entirety of his gospel. The work entails an alternative and rather disregarding depiction of Jesus’ demeanor within Christian literature and the actualities of the twelve disciples as it depicts these people are misguided and rather very naïve followers that were destined to fall into sinful praising under the name of god. Jesus is proven to be a calm but insensitive being that laughs at the ignorance of mortals, that ends up illustrating the realities that tied the human existence and its never-ending doom. The Gospel of Judas strives to iterate the pillars of Christian Hierarchy as it describes its several holy artifacts such as angels, luminaries, stars and much of that world that would invoke a new understanding for the human mind. Inevitably shattering the human ego as shown when Jesus preaches to the twelve disciples, yet leading to the outcome of Judas’ intuition. Overall, the work enables the creation of humanity and the world it corresponds with as it is vastly separated and rather inferior to the realms in heaven. Understandably this notion puts in place the reality of human consciousness as it is a loan and therefore must be paid due by work and service which in truth is both an enslavement and a gift. As humanity shall forever be looked down upon as minor beings in comparison to the entirety as we shall remain condemned to flesh and mortality.
The surprising ending of the Gospel of Judas, illustrating Judas’ betrayal of Jesus by handing him over to the authorities of that age, could be interpreted in various manners. One might say this betrayal was in fault of adolescent rebellion due to the insulting nature of Jesus’ preaching, but others might see this ending as Judas’ way of coping and therefore truly understanding the valueless world he embeds.
