books about: judas     books:       The Gospel of Judas80 reviews National Geographic, 2006 Wow! But ZZZZZZZZZ (from Ahadada Books) Ok, so now we're in the midst of a comedy that only the demon Saklas could have concocted for the poor scholars caught up in National Geographic's super-hype of a few years back. We admit, we were quite familiar with the "news" of this Gospel before it even appeared. It's been written of, and treated in fictional manner well before the drum beat began for the discovery of the "true" book. Once ...             The Judas Goat17 reviews Robert B. Parker Dell, 1992 Less rhetoric, more action makes for much more enjoyable read Although I'm one who doesn't mind a more cerebral book, typically, I found the first few books in the Spenser series to be a bit overfull of rhetoric and therefore lacking in the essential action necessary in a PI novel. Not "The Judas Goat." Here the action takes us across the pond to London, Holland and Amsterdam, then back to Montreal where Spenser - with the help of Hawk (I was so happy to ...             The Judas Strain: A Novel110 reviews James Rollins William Morrow, 2007 And critics still say he comes in second...well I wonder if they are reading something else...because it can't be this James Rollins is amazing. I love his stories. Clive Clusser starts off great but his endings are a bit predictable and repetitive. Besides Dirk Pitt seems a bit too unrealistic with his super heroism and his bachelor ego. Give me one of James Rollins' heroes any day. Rollins is definitly number 1 in my charts on action and suspense novels. Where is his movie? Sahara was an awesome movie, but ...             Judas Priest: Heavy Metal Painkillers-An Illustrated History3 reviews Martin Popoff Ecw Press, 2007 Highly readable chronicling of Priest's 35-year history "Judas Priest: Heavy Metal Painkillers" is a very good chronicling of the band's 35-year history by Martin Popoff. The book is 380 pages and full of colored photos and illustrations of band members, album covers, magazine covers, etc. Popoff devotes 25 chapters to tell Priest's story, one chapter per each official studio & live album, as well as chapters devoted to "the early years" and all ...             Judas Unchained23 reviews Peter F. Hamilton Del Rey, 2007 One Word... WOW This book was absolutly amazing. It was hard to believe that Peter F. Hamilton could build upon the first book in the series, Pandora's Star, but he did it. Judas Unchained is a great book with different elements coming together in ways that continue to impress and shock you. READ THIS BOOK!             Kiss Me, Judas45 reviews Will Christopher Baer MacAdam/Cage, 2006 re: typos For everyone wondering about the typos. This is a reprint from the original Viking release and as a consequence MacAdam/Cage had to retype the books in full. After that, someone was paid to read the book and thoroughly check/fix typos. This man didn't do his job and the book suffered. Don't blame the Author or dock the book because of this mistake. That's all about that. It is a very good ...             The Lost Gospel of Judas Iscariot: A New Look at Betrayer and Betrayed21 reviews Bart D. Ehrman Oxford University Press, USA, 2006 The Yin & Yang of Judas Iscariot Professor Ehrman gave a fascinating account on his personal involvement in Gospel of Judas, the long lost scripture. In this book, he did not render a direct translation from Coptic writings. Instead, he compared and contrasted Paul's writing with the later four Gospels. With his scholar study work, he presented an unorthodox Judas Iscariot contrary to the familiar image of a greedy, evil, ...             The Last Days of Judas Iscariot5 reviews Stephen Adly Guirgis Dramatists Play Service, 2006 Guirgis writes from the heart and leaves it all on the page Stephen Adly Guirgis is a playwright that as a young person living in an urban city you feel you could chill with. He's also a playwright that if you're an affluent privileged person you'd still love to meet...why? The guy makes you think. In The Last Days of Judas Iscariot we are met with a cast of characters that are so famous and infamous that we can't help but get excited to see what's ...             A Jesuit Off-Broadway10 reviews James Martin Loyola Press, 2007 Another Great Work from James Martin! While strikingly different from his previous work, both in subject and method, this book about his experience working with the cast and crew of an off-broadway show called the "Last Days of Judas Iscariot," is phenomenal. It has been a while since I last read one of Jim Martin's books - the last major one was "Becoming Who You Are," which was sort of an expansion of some of his thoughts in "My ...             Reading Judas: The Gospel of Judas and the Shaping of Christianity30 reviews Elaine Pagels, Karen L. King Penguin (Non-Classics), 2008 Justifying Judas In Reading Judas: The Gospel of Judas and the Shaping of Christianity, Pagels and King explore the "Gospel of Judas" and the context in which it was written, to create a framework for the translation of the gospel in the second half of the book. Rather than ignore the gospel as heresy, they ask readers to consider the political forces at work. They argue that the gospel presents Judas not as a ...             The Judas Judge (Kevin Kerney Novels)23 reviews Michael McGarrity Signet, 2001 The best of the Kevin Kerney books This is the best of the KK books. I won't say too much about the plot since you can read that above. Suffice to say that KK investigates a serial killer and gets more than he bargained for. Spoilers ahead. My comments: 1) Reading the KK books in chronological order is a MUST. Otherwise you'll get confused with his relationships with various people, his status as a policeman and the ...             I, Judas5 reviews Taylor Caldwell Signet, 1978 A Real Drama, about the Greatest Story Ever Told Anyone who enjoys reading, fascinated with Christianity, or simply is Christian themself will take pleasure from this detailed, descriptive, accurate depiction of the Life and Death of Jesus Christ. While the termonology might take you off guard at first, and while I agree an previous understanding of the segmentation of Judea and the way in which it was positioned under Roman rule during the ...             Judas Child86 reviews Carol O'Connell Arrow Books Ltd, 1999 This still haunts me... I have only recently discovered Carol O'Connell, and I am working my way through her novels. I love the Mallory series, but picked this one up because it's by the same author. It was a gripping, can't-put-this-down read. The ending still haunts me.             Talmud of Jmmanuel13 reviews Judas Ischariot Bridger House Publishers, 2005 Seek truth and find it here! The Talmud is a very heretical book that cannot be conceived as truth or tolerated by any established religion. It's message is unlike any other. It does not offer a variation to the same old thing that is brought forth by the faith based religious cults that have dominated earth for millennia. Because it has it's basis in an off world wisdom it has something that doesn't taste the same as the ...             The Judas Window: A Sir Henry Merrivale Mystery (A Rue Morgue Vintage Mystery)8 reviews Carter Dickson Rue Morgue Press, 2008 Classic detection and the best courtroom drama ever Jimmy Answell is summoned for an audience with Avory Hume. The two men are later discovered after witnesses break into Hume's study - a room with bolted steel shutters and a heavy door locked on the inside. Answell is found lying unconscious and Hume stabbed to death with an arrow. How can young Answell but be guilty? How could Sir Henry Merrivale (H.M.!) be foolhardy enough to undertake his ...             Judas and the Gospel of Jesus: Have We Missed the Truth about Christianity?14 reviews N. T. Wright Baker Books, 2006 Topsy Turvy New Testament scholar and Anglican Bishop N. T. Wright admits that when first hearing of the recently published Gospel of Judas his initial reaction was something on the lines of "Not another one of those gospels!" This was not to dispute the importance of the find for historical scholarship which Wright concedes is significant. It merely reflects his understanding that cranks, pseudo-scholars, ...             The Gospel of Judas, Critical Edition: Together with the Letter of Peter to Phillip, James, and a Book of ...4 reviews Rodolphe Kasser, Gregor Wurst National Geographic, 2007 at last high quality paper and binding at a reasonable price. the layout of the text is great--photo (albeit too small), transcription, translation--and the index is very useful.             The Judas Project (Superbolan) Don Pendleton Gold Eagle, 2008 The cold war just the cold war just got got hot again? The old Soviet Bloc espionage games have resumed on a covert and catastrophic new playing field: the U.S. financial markets. The enemy isn't the Russian government, but long-dormant sleeper cells in America's cities, planted by the KGB decades ago. Now a former Kremlin official has found the top-secret files and stolen the blueprint, ready to pocket and manipulate America's resources. He has ...             Talmud Jmmanuel3 reviews Judas Ischarioth Steelmark, 2007 Find the truth for yourself. This book is probably the most important book in human history. The truth will one day prevail.             Judas Island: A Bay Tanner Mystery (Bay Tanner Mysteries)4 reviews Kathryn R. Wall St. Martin's Paperbacks, 2005 Was Gray killed to cover up a murder?
