Most of us are quick to distance ourselves from Judas Iscariot. He betrayed Jesus. He was possessed by Satan. He died in disgrace.

He is not like us.

Or is he?

"What if I'm more like him than I thought?"

About the Book

Not to excuse him.
But to understand him.

In this carefully researched and deeply pastoral work, Dr. Benjamin Gilmore invites readers to look more closely at Judas than they ever have before. Not to excuse him — but to understand him. And in understanding him, to understand themselves.

"Judas was faithful before he fell. He was trusted before he betrayed. He was close to Jesus before he walked away."

Hello, My Name Is Judas asks the question most of us are afraid to answer: what drove this man? What were his hopes, his fears, his misplaced loyalties? And — most uncomfortably — where do we see ourselves in him?

This is not a book that lets Judas off the hook. It is a book that puts us on it — and finds, in that uncomfortable place, an invitation to honest, searching, transformative faith.

Includes a Small Group Discussion Guide.

"Is there a version of betrayal I've never recognized in myself?"

"Can I read the Gospels again and see them differently?"

"Am I more like Peter — or more like Judas?"
