Elaine Peggs, a professor of religion at Princeton University sponsored by Harrington Spelpon Foundation, is one of the authorities of Gnostic Gospel. She said, "The amazing discovery of Judas, as well as many other discoveries buried for nearly two thousand years, changed our understanding of early Christianity. These findings overthrew the myth of a single religion and proved that the religious activities of early Christianity were so diverse and fascinating. "
"It is extremely rare to find previously unknown gospels manuscripts, especially those mentioned by early Christianity. The Gospel of Judas clarifies the developing Christian spiritual characteristics and reminds us once again of the richness and diversity of the early church, "said Marvin Mayer of Chapman University.
Craig Evans, a New Testament professor at Acadia Theological Seminary in Wolfway, Nova Scotia, Canada, greatly appreciated the discovery and publication of the Gospel of Judas. "The Gospel of Judas is an important document in the second century, because this transcript witnessed that Christians at that time had various views on the relationship between Jesus and his disciples. This gospel can also help us to know more about the meaning of the new testament gospels. "
This ancient manuscript continues to be repaired, copied and translated. Incomplete works and fragments that cannot be put back in place are made public after photography. Cather hopes that future generations of scholars will continue to work hard to spell out the whole picture and find more lost pages.
