“Gospel Of Judas And Other Gnostic Secrets” is a fascinating documentary about a manuscript that was discovered and believed to be written some hundred years after the four Gospels. Judas Iscariot is not believed to be the author. Narrated by Tom and Amy Dallis, this intriguing film examines the Gnostic viewpoint and how it differs greatly from the four Gospels. The Gospel of Judas, for example, portrays Judas as a hero who, through his betrayal, helped Christ shed his earthly flesh. The Gospels refer to him as the “traitor” or “the one who betrayed him.” The Gnostic Gospels also portray Cain as a hero, rather than his brother Abel. The film features reenactments of various scenes to which the Gospel of Judas refers.
Make no mistake about it, this documentary uncovers the inconsistencies in this so-called Gospel of Judas and is clear on the point that it is a Gnostic book. It defines the Gnostic belief as a mystic knowledge that was inclusive to the Gnostics themselves. This film also shows the consistencies of the four Gospels, explains their history and how they are part of the Muratorian Canon, and how they became widely accepted as inspired by God. In the film, David M. Hoffeditz, PhD, says the Gospels complement each other and do not contradict one another.
“Gospel Of Judas And Other Gnostic Secrets” is an informative and enlightening viewing experience. We are pleased to award it our Faith Friendly 12+ Seal.
