Now playing: I, Judas

On the Bestselling Audiobooks chart: I, Judas by Taylor Caldwell, Jess Stearn, Claire Bloom – director — stream the complete recording, no account.

From a number-one New York Times best-selling author comes the story of Judas Iscariot – and the stunning betrayal that changed the course of history. One of the great dramas of the biblical era is brought to high-tempo, new life in this epic novel told from the unique perspective of Judas Iscariot himself. This is the story of Judas the myth, condemned by Dante to the most terrifying circle of Hell; Judas the man, the son of wealth and power who fought to suppress the lusts of the flesh and the sin of pride to become one of the 12 original disciples of Jesus Christ; and Judas the apostle, victim of a diabolical lie, history’s arch-traitor, who sold his Lord for 30 pieces of silver, and sealed his fate with a kiss. From Judas’ years as the young rebel of an affluent family undone by his own idealism to his victimization by Pontius Pilate to the crucifixion and Christ’s resurrection, I, Judas is one of the most powerful and revelatory works of religious fiction ever published.
