My name was Judas

We all know the story of Jesus told by Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, but what about the version according to Judas? Judas's name became synonymous with betrayer, but is that how he saw it himself? In this witty, original and teasingly controversial version, recounted some forty years after the death of Jesus, Judas finally tells the story as he remembers it. Looking back on his childhood and youth from an old age the gospel writers denied him, Judas recalls his friendship with Jesus; their schooling together; their families; the people who would go on to be disciples and followers; their journeys together and their dealings with the powers of Rome and the Temple. His is a story of friendship and rivalry, of a time of uncertainty and enquiry, a testing of belief, endurance and loyalty. With his richly painted backdrop of ancient Palestine, Stead goes beyond the boundaries of the story known to us all and convincingly enters the mind of one of its key players. This bold novel, with its wonderfully clear narrative prose, is fresh, provocative and compelling.

  • "War Judas wirklich der Verräter, als der er allgemein gilt? Als alter Mann in Palästina lebend blickt er zurück. Er hat Jesus ein Leben lang mit tiefer Zuneigung begleitet, wurde aber skeptisch gegenüber der bedingungslosen Verehrung, die dieser zunehmend forderte. Das machte ihn zum Aussenseiter in Kreis der Jünger, dennoch blieb er als Einziger an seiner Seite bis zum Ende. Der verräterische Kuss, der tatsächlich ein letzter Versuch war, Jesus zu retten, die Silberlinge, die nie gezahlt wurden - all das fügt C.K.Stead zusammen zur alternativen Geschichte."

  • "Dans ce roman historique, Judas parle à la première personne. Il raconte sa version des faits, quarante ans après la mort de Jésus. Il se souvient : son enfance et son amitié avec ce garçon qui n'était pas encore devenu le messie, leur cheminement côte à côte, leur famille, leurs mésaventures avec le pouvoir de Rome et les notables du Temple, etc."
