This biography traces the perception of Judas from the time of his appearance on the pages of the New Testament to the interpretation of his image in modern cinema and fiction. The image of Judas has always attracted the attention of theologians and cultural figures, prompting them to make more and more new attempts to comprehend his character. This book is a meta-biography, a kind of anthology of numerous biographies of the twelfth apostle. The study of the evolution of this image allows us to reveal the process of the birth of Christianity in the depths of Judaism and its subsequent separation from it, as well as the significance that the common heritage of the two religions has for Christians of all faiths and Jews from different countries.
