The Lost Gospel of Judas

I thought this was interesting. Mr. Nag, of course, has known about it for years. Where does he hear about these things and why doesn't he tell me so I can blog about them sooner?


The National Geographic Society has been part of an international effort, in collaboration with the Maecenas Foundation for Ancient Art and the Waitt
Institute for Historical Discovery, to authenticate, conserve, and translate a 66-page codex, which contains a text called James (also known as First Apocalypse of James), the Letter of Peter to Philip, a fragment of a text that scholars are provisionally calling Book of Allogenes, and the only known surviving copy of the Gospel of Judas.
