Book 1. To whom will I liken this generation? Book 2. Who can listen to this? The dilogy “One version of the betrayal of Judas” is a daring attempt to revive the method of allegorical interpretation of the Bible, which is based on the virtually lost traditions of the Alexandrian school, founded by such teachers as Clement and Origen. However, in many respects the author manages to go much further than the famous Alexandrians. Based on the commandment about the need to love God with all one’s mind, the author does not allow the Truth to be contradictory, as well as provisions that are incomprehensible to the human mind. The author strives for maximum systematic presentation. Starting with such general principles as the impossibility of literal interpretation of many passages of Holy Scripture and the rejection of a simple approach to biblical texts, the author moves on to such topics as philosophical anthropology, the nature of human knowledge, the existence of evil in the world and the meaning of salvation. Discussing salvation, the author proves that the sacrifice of the cross alone is not enough for salvation due to the existence of temptation in Christ. In the matter of salvation, one more character is needed. The author insists that this is Judas Iscariot – a figure completely superfluous in the modern theology of both Eastern and Western Christianity. The author dwells in almost excessive detail on the “mystery of lawlessness” – a topic that even Augustine admitted ignorance of. Based on the rejection of the literal meaning, the author not only faces the need to rethink the essence of Christianity, but actually claims to eliminate the contradictions between Christianity and Judaism. The first book, “To whom shall I liken this generation?” was previously published in 1993 and caused the most controversial responses, from singing the praises and proclaiming the author the greatest Christian mind of our time, and ending with uttering curses and crude threats against the author. The book contains a huge number of biblical quotations, often corrected from the original, as well as many excerpts from the works of early Christian authors. These fragments are supplemented by optional material from the Coptic Gospels of Thomas and Philip. The book is an interdisciplinary study that brings together various branches of theology and philosophy, and at times psychology and the natural sciences.
