(AP) " As Middle Tennesseans, like Christians worldwide, mark Christ's crucifixion today, they are also reacting to a newly published account offering a different twist on the events leading to it: the "Gospel of Judas." Instead of Jesus' betrayer, Judas Iscariot is portrayed as a favored, obedient disciple who does Christ's bidding in betraying him for 30 pieces of silver. Judas does this so Jesus will be freed from his earthly body. And Judas does it with the full knowledge that he will be "cursed by the other generations," according to the translation of the 1,700-year-old text published by the National Geographic Society. Some local Christians have already denounced the text as "heresy" and criticized the timing of its release, in the week before the holiest week in the Christian calendar that includes Good Friday today, the day on which Judas' biblical betrayal led to Christ's style="margin-top:15px;"> A viewer gets an early look April 6 at an exhibit containing crucifixion. artifacts related to the "Gospel of Judas" on display at the National Geographic Society in Washington, D.C.

Other pastors say that Judas questions are coming up in conversations at church services and Bible- study classes. Belmont University will hold a lecture on both the Judas texts and the novel The Da Vinci Code by author Dan Brown on Wednesday. Earlier this week, several professors at Baptist- affiliated Union University in Jackson, Tenn., released statements calling the documents "heresy." One Union professor, Ray Van Neste, likened the text to histories written during World War II that Outside Sales Representative denied the Holocaust, according to the Baptist Press, the official voice of the Southern Baptist Convention, in an article that will be distributed in Baptist newspapers across the state.

It went unexamined by scholars as it changed hands until a Swiss- based foundation purchased it and invited National Geographic to study and restore the crumbling All Top Jobs document. The text says it is a "secret account" of the "revelation that Jesus spoke in conversation with Judas Iscariot." Todd Lake, vice president for spiritual development at Belmont University, said the Judas text appears to have been written long after the other New Testament books that record the events of Christ's life: Mathew, Mark, Luke and John. http://www.tennessean.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060414/NEWS06/604140411 (2 of 4)4/17/2006 9:38:05 AM New view of Judas sparks debate, discussions locally - Nashville, Tennessee - Friday, 04/14/06 - Tennessean.com Those texts, he said, "were written in a period by people who knew Jesus and heard him speak," he said. "The eyewitness part is critical. We saw it; we were there; we are writing it down." "That simply cannot be the case with a document written in 300 A.D.," he said. "Whoever wrote it, no matter what their intentions, could not know." That point might be lost to many Christians reading about the Judas "gospel" in the press, he said. "I think the Christian church has done a poor job of educating their people, and all of us have been guilty of that. Unfortunately, I think it's very possible that this will create some doubts in people's minds because they won't know the difference between eyewitness accounts and others." Bishop Nicholas Boyle-Parsley of the St. Basil American Orthodox Church in south Nashville said the texts may shift his own understanding of the events of Holy Week. "If this was truly an act that he was asked to do for Jesus to complete his mission on Earth, that's a new light on this," he said. "The thing that interests me is that Judas might have had a choice. We talk about the devil entering Judas' heart to make him do what he did, that he had no choice, but what if he was given the choice by Jesus? That's certainly different from our understanding." Vanderbilt Divinity School professor Amy-Jill Levine, who was on a National Geographic Society advisory committee about the Judas text, said it may cause some people to think about how the image of Judas has been viewed throughout history. From late antiquity, in Nazi propaganda, and in writings of some Christian theologians, Judas has been a "symbol of the Jews" contributing to anti-Semitism, said Levine, a professor of New Testament Studies. From late antiquity on, "some Christians view(ed) the treacherous, villainous Judas as a symbol of all Jews," whose betrayal of Christ contributed to anti-Semitism, she said. But Glen Leven Presbyterian Church pastor Mark Bryan says that whatever the new text may say about Judas, it does not change his opinions. "My take on it is that I don't believe the gospels make Judas into a villain, even if it's been the general interpretation of the church that Judas is damned forever," he said. "The money he was paid for identifying Jesus in the crowd, he supposedly threw it back to those who paid him. Not long afterwards, Judas hung himself. He just doesn't seem like much of a villain." • Subscribe to The Tennessean Email story | Print | Photo Reprints | Email headlines | Photo gallery | Coupons and receive a free gift http://www.tennessean.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060414/NEWS06/604140411 (3 of 4)4/17/2006 9:38:05 AM New view of Judas sparks debate, discussions locally - Nashville, Tennessee - Friday, 04/14/06 - Tennessean.com SITE MAP tennessean.com main | news | sports | business | entertainment | life | all the rage | celebrities | photo gallery | shopping | traffic | weather | classified | jobs | cars | real estate | dating CUSTOMER SERVICE terms of service | privacy policy | reader services | back issues/archives | contact The Tennessean | subscribe to The Tennessean | Newspapers in Education | The Tennessean in our community | about The Tennessean | jobs at The Tennessean COUNTY NEWS: Ashland City Times | Brentwood Journal | Dickson Herald | Fairview Observer | Franklin Review Appeal | Gallatin News Examiner | Hendersonville Star News | The Journal of Spring Hill & Thompson's Station | Robertson County Times | Williamson A.M.

  • E.W. Scripps Company Expects Newspaper Spinoff to Retain Tax-Free Status in Journal Media Group Acquisition
    E.W. Scripps Company expects newspaper spinoff to retain tax-free status in Journal Media Group acquisition For immediate release Oct. 7, 2015 CINCINNATI – The E.W. Scripps Company (NYSE: SSP) expects the spinoff and merger of its newspaper operations with those of Journal Communications to remain tax free for Scripps and its shareholders if Journal Media Group (NYSE: JMG) is acquired by Gannett Company (NYSE: GCI). Gannett announced plans for the acquisition today. On April 1, Scripps and Journal Communications simultaneously spun off and merged their newspaper operations to form Journal Media Group in a transaction that was tax free for Scripps and its shareholders. At the time of this deal, Scripps and Journal Communications entered into a Tax Matters Agreement to address Scripps’ and Journal Media Group’s rights and obligations with respect to a number of matters, including any sale of Journal Media Group before the second anniversary of the closing of the deal. Under that agreement, Journal Media Group is required to provide Scripps with an unqualified opinion of tax counsel confirming that the tax-free status of the spin-off of Scripps newspapers will be preserved in the event of a sale of Journal Media Group. Scripps has received this tax opinion, which concludes that the sale of Journal Media Group will not result in the prior Scripps spinoff becoming taxable to Scripps or its shareholders. About Scripps The E.W. Scripps Company serves audiences and businesses through a growing portfolio of television, radio and digital media brands. Scripps is one of the nation’s largest independent TV station owners, with 33 television stations in 24 markets and a reach of nearly one in five U.S.

  • 16 April 1963 My Dear Fellow Clergymen
    16 April 1963 My Dear Fellow Clergymen: While confined here in the Birmingham city jail, I came across your recent statement calling my present activities “unwise and untimely.” Seldom do I pause to answer criticism of my work and ideas. If I sought to answer all the criticisms that cross my desk, my secretaries would have little time for anything other than such correspondence in the course of the day, and I would have no time for constructive work. But since I feel that you are men of genuine good will and that your criticisms are sincerely set forth, I want to try to answer your statement in what I hope will be patient and reasonable terms. I think I should indicate why I am here in Birmingham, since you have been influenced by the view which argues against “outsiders coming in.” I have the honor of serving as president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, an organization operating in every southern state, with headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia. We have some eighty five affiliated organizations across the South, and one of them is the Alabama Christian Movement for Human Rights. Frequently we share staff, educational and financial resources with our affiliates. Several months ago the affiliate here in Birmingham asked us to be on call to engage in a nonviolent direct action program if such were deemed necessary. We readily consented, and when the hour came we lived up to our promise. So I, along with several members of my staff, am here because I was invited here. I am here because I have organizational ties here.
