ABOUT THE BOOK: Acclaimed New York
Times bestselling author Tosca Lee brilliantly adapts the life of Judas
Iscariot into a dazzling work of fiction—humanizing the man whose very name is
synonymous with betrayal.
Based on extensive
research into the life and times of Judas Iscariot, this triumph of fiction
storytelling by the author of Havah: The Story of Eve revisits one of
biblical history’s most maligned figures and brings the world he inhabited
vividly to life.
In Jesus, Judas believes
he has found the One—the promised Messiah and future king of the Jews, destined
to overthrow Roman rule. Galvanized, he joins the Nazarene’s followers, ready
to enact the change he has waited for all his life. But soon Judas’s vision of
a nation free from Rome is crushed by the inexplicable actions of the Nazarene
himself, who will not bow to social or religious convention—who seems, in the
end, to even turn against his own people. At last, Judas must confront the fact
that the master he loves is not the liberator he hoped for, but a man bent on a
drastically different agenda.
Iscariot is the story
of Judas, from his tumultuous childhood to his emergence as the man known to
the world as the betrayer of Jesus. But even more, it is a singular and
surprising view into the life of Jesus that forces us to reexamine everything
we thought we knew about the most famous—and infamous—religious icons in
history.
