[GetReligion] April 9, 2006--My newsroom was all abuzz this week with the revelation of the Gospel of Judas. The media have been going non-stop with the news that a Gnostic tract has been translated that says Judas was helping Jesus rather than betraying him.
Well, where to begin? Before I criticize the ridiculous ignorance of the media in covering this very old story, let me offer a critique of the church. If Christians knew anything about their history, if they knew anything about how the New Testament canon came to be formed, I doubt these stories would be met with more than a yawn.
