Description

We all know the story of Jesus told by Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, but what about the version according to Judas? In this account, Judas tells the story as he remembers it. This is a story of friendship and rivalry, of a time of uncertainty and enquiry, a testing of belief, endurance and loyalty.
