<Vindicating Judas Iscariot> When thinking of Judas Iscariot in the Bible, there are some very hardly understandable things. First, as the most trusted and powerful apostle in charge of all the disciples' money bag (think of the finance elder in church), why did he sell his master for nothing but a trifling amount of thirty silver coins. Furthermore, it was the instance when the hope of Messianic kingdom peaked out among the disciples. If Jesus' kingdom were achieved, he would be able to occupy a ministerial position at least. Second, his nickname “Iscariot” is curious. “Iscariot” is usually known as “the assassin”, which could not be given by Jesus. This was surely given after his betrayal. Then, with what nickname had he been called before betrayal? Among Greek words, there is a similar one to “Iscariot”, which is "Iscuros(great)." Iscuros has the same origin as kyrios meaning “Lord.” Wasn't this Judas' original nickname by any chance? Wasn't he perhaps a far more excellent figure than other disciples as this nickname? In the gospels, there are few comments on Judas except in his betrayal process. His record must have been intentionally deleted in the history to erase him forever. Therefore, we hardly know what kind of man Judas was and why he betrayed Jesus at their peak time. Had he really approached Jesus just for money from the beginning? Then, why he threw the money away and killed himself? And what the hell Jesus was who had appointed Judas as the finance apostle? On these questions, this novel was written to vindicate Judas and Jesus, who called him, by fabricating Judas' story erased in the Bible.
