Judas the Gentile

Booklist’s Top 10 Christian Novel of 2000

"Subtle, provocative."
            --Booklist
 
"Judas' struggle to understand his motives, his faith and his destiny propel this tale."
      --Publisher's Weekly
 
"D.S. Lliteras has given readers much to think about in Judas the Gentile."
            --Midwest Book Review
 
"A true work of enduring literature."
        --Wisconsin Bookwatch

Exceptional new fiction from the author of The Thieves of Golgotha and the Llewellen trilogy. History characterizes Judas as the disciple who betrayed Jesus. In this magnificent study of the conflict between human desires and destiny, Lliteras artfully scrapes away two thousand years of myth to reveal Judas the man: the depth of his agony over his actions, and the intricate nature of his relationship with Jesus.

Lliteras infuses his literary world with all the vividness and often heart breaking realism that readers have come to expect from his work. An unforgettable and majestic continuation of Lliteras’ biblical epic, The Thieves of Golgotha.
