I just checked out the Gospel of Judas the other day @ the local B&N. Wow. It felt like a part of history jumping into my hands.\n\nKnowing what Judas was to become; reading what depictions he'd written of Jesus; the pieces of text felt so raw with emotion. They felt so real. Knowing the ending of the story of course, did make some of the pre-betrayal friendliness tough to swallow.\n\nThis brought me to the realization that these newer books need to be included, don't they? I haven't asked my priest at church, but a newer version has to be in the works.\n\nForget about red tape, just order the entries and publish the thing.\n\nWith the Da Vinci Code getting more publicity than the Dead Sea Scrolls, now'd be a pretty good time to release a newer, fuller edition of The Bible.\n\nThanks for answering my last question,\n\n-Justin

I don't know yet. I have read it over, but not really studied it, and I am going to be watching a special about it tonight at 8pm EST on the National Geographic Channel. I do not make decisions about my faith until I know all the facts and have had ample time to think, pray, and do some soul searching. I suggest that any who are interested in gathering all the info necessary to make an informed decision watch the show and read the text.\n\n To the person above me still waiting for it's publication - you can read the text at the link below. Just click on the link, and to the right where it has the two download buttons, click the "download the entire English text as PDF."

Do your own homework.  They're both excellent stories... reading them will be enjoyable.  I'm partial to Bierce myself.

It's interesting that you should ask, as I was just at the comic book store yesterday trying to find some of the collected "Next Men" trades to give to my sister for Christmas. \n\nSo, I liked this book as well, but it's been ten years and we're still waiting for more. Sadly it's unlikely that we'll ever get to see the series end.\n\nIf you remember, "Next Men" stopped being printed in 1995, possibly the darkest time in the history of the American comic book. With sales at an all time low it was just no longer profitable for John Byrne to keep working on what was, for the most part, a labor of love. It made more sense for him to go back to DC and then later to Marvel.\n\nSo, let's just keep our fingers crossed.

I have!  I love them!  I just remember that this is a fiction series about what could/might happen!  Too many people who don't like this series, think that those of us that read the books are taking the books literally.  Personally, the Left Behind books have inspired me to read my Bible more!  What Christian can say that is a bad thing?

I have not read this book, was it co-authored? \n\nYou are right about the monument spheres in the Marion cemetary!! I had to bury my 14 year old son Patrick there last July. He's in the section behind the Harding memorial.\n\nSorry about any bumming out.

I would read "Angels and Demons" first only because there are a couple of minor references to it in "The DaVinci Code" (which you would overlook if you read DC first).  Reading A&D will in no way give away the DC.  It's true that they are written in the same formula.  Both are about religious matters which begin with a murder followed by intense mystery and astounding conclusions, but the actual plots are different.

Read Wilton Barnhardt's "Gospel".  In my opinion, it is of the same ilk (this isn't a new genre at all) but better, as I prefer his prose.\n\nI also think you could include new author Elizabeth Kostova, who just published a thriller in the same vein.\n\nThere have been many other authors who have written what I call "conspiracy novels" about the nature of Christ.\n\nThere are also some old school books like "The Talisman" by Sir Walter Scott, and "The Robe" by Lloyd Douglas.  The Talisman is really old school (almost 200 years old) and traces a coin that was won in the gambling at Christ's feet through the ages and its transport to Scotland with the heart of Robert the Bruce (in reality, the coin exists, in the bossom of our Clan Chief, Lockhart, in Ayrshire, Scotland).\n\nPoke around, there is lots of material including one novel about the a new set of dead sea scrolls that has Jesus's bones turn up in the tomb of Joseph...etc.\n\nAnd according to court accounts, you can read "Holy Blood, Holy Grail", which Brown is accused of plagiarising (remember the flap about Harry Potter being plagiarised?

I look at amazon.com and there was only a few reviews that were negative. Did a web search and did not find any reviews which were more negative than the ones below found on Amazon.com\n\n\nReviewer: J. Constantine (Chicago, IL USA)\n     \nI am pretty surprised to read the multiple rave reviews on this book. I just finished it, and found it just ok. The facts of the story are interesting enough but I found the writing and telling of the story a bit too simple. There were some major events in these peoples' lives that were basically stated and not elaborated upon. And in several pages I found myself rereading a page to figure out which of the author's fathers was being described. I am sure that the incorrect names are used in two spots in the book. I don't need long, flowing descriptions of things. But if you are going to tell a story of this magnitude, it deserves a little more "fleshing out." I would have liked to have gotten some emotional reaction to it - ok, so his mother prefers not to discuss things. But how did these revelations affect the author? his family? I just wanted more - and if the author chooses not to reveal more, then explain why.\n\nReviewer: Elias Govea "Eli" (texas)\n\nThe Color of Water by James McBride tells two emotional stories. One of the stories is told by his mother, who is a Caucasian, and one by him, who is black. The mom talks about how hard it was growing up being Jewish. Worst of all her dad treated her harsh and sometimes even touching her sexually. Then she started her rebellious stage and started going out with black people even though he knew her dad would disapprove of it. This was the 1940's so this was dangerous for both of them. She talks about the many obstacles that she overcame in her like. For example, when her husband died leaving her with eight kids to attend to. Then she somehow found ambition to get all her kids to college. The son talks about the many challenges her mom had to overcome in order for him and his siblings to get a proper education. For example, when her second husband died leaving her with twelve kids to support she still manage to get all of them to college. This book seemed boring to me but if you are interested in how hard it is for a black person and a white person to fall in love and concur all the obstacles that came their way then you might be interested in it. This book is short but since it was boring to me, I found it to be very long. The book does not have hard language it is actually quite easy
