The Gospel of Judas paints a very different picture than the one in the other gospels. I paints a picture of Judas was the only one of the disciples who understood the truth. We've researched this, very little information of who Judas was or his family. Some historians say Judas wrote this, some say you can connect it with Jude in the bible that he wrote it. Then some say no one knows who wrote it. Some say it was written in the 1st century then again some say it was 2nd or 3rd century. Regardless it flips the bibles teaching upside down whoever wrote it. It was rediscovered in Egypt in the 1970's and translated in 2006 and just now getting popular as a gnostic text. Very little is known about it or Judas for that matter. We really don't know who he was, the bible portrays him as greedy, this book portrays him as Jesus best guy. Read it for yourself and give us your opinions.
