Judas Iscariot is one of the most infamous and reviled characters in Christian history. His betrayal of Jesus for thirty pieces of silver is considered the paradigm of self-interested perfidy. The Gospel of Judas Iscariot - Our Brother? questions the assumptions we have made about Judas. If he betrayed Jesus in one single act, how many times does man betray Him every day? Are we really so different from the man we love to hate? This collection of short stories by Miguel Benavides, translated for the first time from their original Spanish, presents a different view of Judas. He is revealed as materialistic and sometimes mercenary, and yet his fall from grace is rendered comprehensible. Judas appears in different situations and eras, but the character traits that made him a perfect betrayer become traits that are all too human and recognisable.
