Record summary
The Gospel of Judas, preserved in the Coptic-language Codex Tchacos, was publicly published and translated in 2006 after a complicated modern ownership history. Its portrayal of Judas and Jesus differs sharply from canonical Christian narratives and prompted disputes over dating, translation, restoration, and sensationalized interpretation. The text is valuable for comparing apocryphal revelation, textual transmission, and modern media framing. It should be treated as an ancient religious composition, probably from late antiquity, not as a modern visionary report or straightforward historical testimony.
