medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
hi all
The discussion of Judas brings me back to a lengthy one we had last year
about the role of Judas. Judas is depicted as the bad guy, yet, in many
works of art , and some theories, Judas, is also working under God's divine
power to do what he did to fulfill the necessary old testament prophecy and
the fact that Jesus was ordained to be born in to this physical world in
order to die and descend to hell to do battle with Satan to break open the
Jaws of death so we could all go to everlasting life. Judas , then, becomes
the vehicle by which God/ Jesus fulfills his prophecy and his promise to us
to send us a Saviour.
Has anyone seen the movie, "The Last Temptation of Christ". It is
controversial , yet very thought provoking.
Regards
Carol
