The most vilified character in the Bible, Judas Iscariot, was the only disciple whom Jesus called friend, yet his betrayal ultimately led to Jesus's death. In Molyneux's (The Angel of Antioch) skillful hands, the story comes alive in a new way that humanizes Judas and provides insight into the life of Jesus. Beginning with the appearance of the angel Azazel, who tells Simon Bar-Levi to name his soon-to-be born son Judah, the novel traces Judas's life in first-century Israel, from marriage to the high priest's daughter and spying on John the Baptist and Jesus for his father-in-law, to following Jesus as a conflicted disciple and ultimate traitor. The author draws on his training and experience as a biblical scholar and archaeologist to present a fresh perspective on a familiar story. VERDICT: Emotionally intense and intricately plotted, this provocative novel profiles Judas in unexpected ways.
