Judas Iscariot. The ultimate traitor. It was his kiss of greeting that signaled the temple officials to arrest Jesus of Nazareth and send him to his death. We all know the story: in exchange for a paltry sum of money—thirty pieces of silver—Judas agreed to hand over his rabbi to the religious authorities in Jerusalem, who put Jesus on trial and ultimately ensured that he would be crucified. When Judas saw what was about to happen to Jesus, he was seized with remorse, gave back the money, and went out and hanged himself. That’s the story as we have it in the New Testament Gospels. But what if, before he hanged himself, Judas took the time to write a suicide note? What would he have had to say? That question lies at the center of this novel. A Rope for Judas is Judas Iscariot’s suicide note, and it delves into the complicated inner life of this most despised of disciples in an effort to find out what motivated him to do what he did.

In this fascinating historical and cultural biography, writer and broadcaster Peter Stanford deconstructs that most vilified of Bible characters: Judas Iscariot, who famously betrayed Jesus with a kiss. Beginning with the gospel accounts, Peter explores two thousand years of cultural and theological history to investigate how the very name Judas came to be synonymous with betrayal and, ultimately, human evil. But as Peter points out, there has long been a counter-current of thought that suggests that Judas might in fact have been victim of a terrible injustice: central to Jesus' mission was his death and resurrection, and for there to have been a death, there had to be a betrayal. This thankless role fell to Judas; should we in fact be grateful to him for his role in the divine drama of salvation? 'You'll have to decide,' as Bob Dylan sang in the sixties, 'Whether Judas Iscariot had God on his side'. An essential but doomed character in the Passion narrative, and thus the entire story of Christianity, Judas and the betrayal he symbolises continue to play out in much larger cultural histories, speaking as he does to our deepest fears about friendship, betrayal and the problem of evil. Judas: the ultimate traitor, or the ultimate scapegoat? This is a compelling portrait of Christianity's most troubling and mysterious character.

Twenty-two-year-old Orion attends Nogero State University and is studying zoology, hoping to become either an underpaid veterinarian or an overqualified state worker. He is also taking a philosophy class that explores various religions and their beliefs and as a faithless person, Jones has a lot to say about the topicmaybe too much. During a heated discussion about religion with some of his closest friends, Jones declares that no one knows for certain if God and the devil exist. As the friends leave the coffee shop, Orion asserts, If they do exist, I issue this challenge to the devil himself. That when I die, I will inevitably go to hell because I am agnostic and by not believing in God outright, I challenge the devil to mortal combat, and the winner controls hell and can do whatever one pleases. Moments after an automobile accident, Orion regains consciousness. Its apparent hes not in Nogero anymore. Hes landed in the underworld, and with the help of his guide, Kunle, Orion navigates the underworld. During his quest to learn what hell has to offer, he prepares for the ultimate showdown.

David Lawyerman had returned from Italy where, together with Brazilian soldiers, he participated in World War II. Very fearing God, David participated in the war together with about 25,000 Brazilian soldiers, went through bad times but, always keeping in mind the words of his God: did not kill any enemy. He went, participated and returned from the war without even firing. He kept in his belongings a Holy Bible that he gained from his father when he boarded the Italian field. He married Adriana and returned to his hometown, attended his church that operated in a small temple in a neighborhood known as Little Cross Saint . Every Wednesday and Sunday, along with his wife Adriana, he went to church, sang his hymns and gave his praise. Married in 1946, two years later the first heir arrived, a boy named Mark. Mark lived, like David, under the protection of God. Seeing him grow up alone, David and Adriana decided to get a little brother for him. In fact, exactly one year after the birth of Mark, the arrival came not from a brother, but from a princess named Rebecca. When returning from the war David got to study law, but after a few years in this position, he was not charmed by law and decided to return to his first profession: an English teacher. For being interested in the origin of the Bible, since little David had a certain domain of Aramaic. The war gave him more experience and he came to see life with more discernment. He always talked with his friends and discussed with them the passages he read in the Holy Bible. At night, when they put their sons Mark and Rebecca to bed, they read a passage from the Bible and prayed together. On Wednesday, around 7 p.m., heavy rain falls on the city. Mark and Rebecca were not very well. They coughed a lot during the night before and Adriana, afraid, would rather stay at home with them. David picks up his books and goes to the worship service of his church. On Wednesday, the service always starts at 7:20 p.m. First a hymn is sung, the preacher reads a psalm from the Holy Bible and then immediately prays, thanking and asking for forgiveness and protection from God to all the people. Then he does his sermon. Around 8.30 p.m., after worship and after talking to the people who also attend church, David decides to return home. On the way the rain rises and lightning and thunder scratches the sky. At one point, the sky clears and David sees a figure that, like previous times, looks at him and smiles. This gentleman is dressed in white with long sleeves. - Sir, sir! shouts David. The light is followed by a great thunderbolt and a crash causes David to fall to the ground. For a few seconds David feels his whole body paralyzed. Try to get up but everything turns. As he looks sideways, he sees again that gentleman in white with wide sleeves. At his side he sees a circumference with lights that rotate without stopping, as if forming a tunnel. David approaches, and when he gets very close, this man crosses that circumference. He stops and looks at David, invites him to do the same. What will David do! He will follow that lord! This you will find out by reading the whole story of this book.
