Has Judas been unfairly treated? Art historian
Janet Robson traces the way the image and concept of Judas has been exploited and manipulated down the centuries for social and religious reasons. The New Testament brands Judas as the villain, though biblical accoun of his betrayal of Christ and subsequent suicide are ambiguous and contradictory. But the programme also reflects more revisionist, kinder view of Judas, as a vehicle of God's will - for without Judas, it is argued, there could be no betrayal, no Crucifixion and therefore no resurrection.
