Gospel of Judas

It's interesting to note what was said about the 'gospel of Judas' by one who was considered a disciple of the apostles themselves. Irenaeus, one of the most prominent Christian writers of the second century, detailed some of the teachings of Gnostics of his day, and had this to say about the proponents: "They produce a fictitious history of this kind, which they style the Gospel of Judas."
