One of the original Twelve Apostles of Jesus Christ, Judas Iscariot, is generally regarded in history as the ultimate traitor: he is best known as the man who betrayed his master and turned him over to authorities to be killed. However, some interpretations of the story portray Judas in a more compassionate light: he was believed to be one of Jesus’s oldest, closest, and most trusted friends. But what is the truth behind the most despised character of the Bible? Judas – My Story gives an in-depth look at the figure of Judas Iscariot: it is the tale of the misunderstood disciple. Through its pages, it wants to try to dig a little deeper and conclude that Judas was not a psychopath, diabolic, or mentally challenged man as he has always been portrayed throughout history.
