Judas Iscariot: Between Prophecy and Betrayal

Judas Iscariot – a name that has become synonymous with betrayal and moral failure. But who was this man who began as a disciple of Jesus and ended as the ultimate symbol of treachery?

In Judas Iscariot: Between Prophecy and Betrayal, Ludwig Krantz delves deep into the historical, theological, and cultural evolution of one of history's most controversial figures. From the Gospels to modern interpretations in art, literature, and film, Krantz explores how Judas' role as a betrayer has shaped not only Christian theology but also our collective understanding of loyalty and guilt.

This book invites readers to confront profound questions: Was Judas merely a tool in a divine plan? Or a man acting out of free will? What does his legacy mean for our understanding of human frailty and divine forgiveness?

A captivating exploration of betrayal—and the enduring connection between faith, culture, and moral complexity.
