Book Synopsis

The adult education officer in the Anglican diocese of Chichester, England, Cane argues that the place of Judas Iscariot in Christology can best be understood by examining the tension between providence and tragedy, as exemplified in the opposing readings of Judas found in Karl Barth and Donald MacKinnon. He follows Judas, as portrayed in the gospels, through the footwashing and Last Supper, the handing over of the Son, his repentance and death, and his and Christ's descent into Hell.
