The divine script called for betrayal with a kiss, and someone had to be cast in that role. Judas, the intimate friend of the Son, became thus the indispensable collaborator of the Father and a figure of endlessly inviting ambivalence for the Western imagination. Susan Gubar has assembled a tour-de-force collection of Judas-art and Judas-literature and turned it into a Judas biography full of thought, heart, and fascination.\" -- Jack Miles, author of God: A Biography\u003cbr\u003e\"A most readable account of the story of the New Testament’s arch-villain and his history over the past 2000 years, Susan Gubar’s \u003cem\u003eJudas\u003c\/em\u003e links Christian anti-Semitism with Christianity’s attempt to grapple with transcendent evil.
