The planned publication of a "forbidden" Gospel of Judas is set to reawaken a centuries-old controversy over the man who betrayed Jesus.

There are many gospels of "Judas". http://www.earlychristianwritings.com/gospeljudas.html
And there were several men who were called Judas. So it will interesting to see if this is a later Gnostic work done in the first century or later...or actually something really "new" that predates the ones already translated.
I am not holding my breath.
There was a big hoopla some years back about the "Secret Gospel of Mark" too. We will see if this is for real or only more hype and controvery rather than truth.

like on of my friend mentioned it on another board "If nothing else, this will show us what 4th century Christians believed about the man who sold the Messiah for thirty pieces of silver."
