The Profile

Editors/translators of the 2006 White Star edition of the Gospel of Judas: Rodolphe Kasser, Marvin Meyer and Gregor Wurst.

The 2006 edition (White Star) presents a translation based on Coptic papyrus fragments. The review and edition link the manuscript material to a transcription date commonly placed around 220–340 AD, note Coptic language with Greek/Egyptian idioms, and reference involvement of the National Geographic Society and the Waitt Institute for restoration/translation funding. The text is presented as a Gnostic variant that re-evaluates Judas' role.

The single review highlights the 2006 White Star edition of the Gospel of Judas translated/edited by Rodolphe Kasser, Marvin Meyer and Gregor Wurst. It presents the book as a careful reconstruction of a Coptic papyrus with a Gnostic portrayal of Judas. The reviewer praises some interpretive passages (Jesus laughing, liberation from the body) but questions the revolutionary claims and suspects marketing emphasis. Overall rating in the review: 3/5.
