I think these things which surface once in a while (like Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code), put in doubts the ideas of the times. It creates chaos in the minds of the believers. The phiosiophy of religion should not lead to politics of religion. Religion should not be used for the indivisual benefit. Maybe Judas was a superhero, the chosen one, maybe the other Gopels wanted their name to be imprinted in history , but who cares. The ultimate truth is of sacrifice. Nobody knows whether Judas failed or worked under God's decree. The salient point is Jesus could have done whatever possible to save himself looking into the fact that he had immense powers or powers of God delivered unto him, but he didn't do that. Then the IMPACT would have been missing. But still the agency of Judas was required. The message is clear, the ULTIMATE SACRIFICE of the Son of God. Judas and other gospels are just pawns in the major PLAY of GOD. For us its just an illusion. Off course its always interesting to go into the details of ancient history, but I sincerely doubt whether any change can come in contemporary christian theology due to this. A second reformist is difficult to accept in todays' world.
