Where did Judas go when he died? Did he go to heaven or hell? For Christians and non-Christians alike, Judas Iscariot is the man we love to hate. But who would Jesus have been without him?

In this unique short story we journey with the man who played what is arguably one of the most pivotal roles in all of human history. We know Jesus chose him to be one of the original twelve disciples. We know he was with Jesus throughout his entire three-year ministry. Now it’s time to separate him from the crowd.

Going beyond his worth, which always seems to start at thirty pieces of silver and suicide, dare to step outside the boundaries of one-dimensional thinking and tradition and ask yourself: “Can Judas be forgiven for what he did?”

BIO:

Writing, for Jason, is a way to express the ongoing story of theology. With every book or article he hopes readers get a sense of the complexity of God and the necessity of faith. Captivated by the spiritual component of life, Jason loves to read everything from the Greek classics to the Sunday comics.

While serving as pastor of a Disciples of Christ congregation near Memphis, TN, Jason wrote a weekly column in a local newspaper called Sermon in a Nutshell and has had devotions published in The Secret Place among others.

Jason holds a Bachelor’s in Social Work and Bible from Kentucky Christian University, a Master's in New Testament Theology from Johnson University and a Doctorate in Ministry from Sewanee: University of the South School of Theology.

Today he lives with his beautiful wife and children in Schaefferstown, Pennsylvania where he serves as the pastor of St. Paul’s United Church of Christ.
