The third in the series examines "The Lost Gospel of Judas". According to the narrator it "casts a different light" on the betrayer's "despicable act." Since Jesus was divinely slated for crucifixion, someone had to help set the events in motion. For the first time, there appears to be some scientific agreement on the relic being discussed. It was discovered in 1978 and finally determined to be written much later than the other Christian gospels. Unfortunately, the intriguing new ideas in the document are passed over and it is dismissed as early criticism of Christianity. Again, the New Testament is presented as factual information. While it doesn't conclude that Judas should be seen in a more positive light, the idea has merit and makes this episode one of the most thought-provoking of the short series.
