| Summary: | In this study the death and final destiny of Judas Iscariot are examined in the four Gospels, Acts, the earliest Christian writings, and the Gospel of Judas. These sources generally portray Judas' end in negative light that has implications on the way the auditors may have interpreted Judas' final destination. This observation runs contrary to the recent trend in scholarship that tends to exonerate Judas for his act of surrendering Jesus to the authorities. Judas was considered by the emerging Christians as a representative apostate from their communities, and as such, his final destination functions as a warning to the early auditors. |
