AI-generated Abstract
This research investigates the term 'confictio' as used in the context of the Gospel of Judas, analyzing its dual meanings within early Christian texts. The study emphasizes the significance of understanding 'confictio' to better grasp the theological implications in Irenaeus' writings, thereby contributing to the discourse on Gnostic texts and their interpretation.

Understanding the Gospel of Judas
The discovery and publication of the Gospel of Judas created a sensation in scholarly and popular settings alike. Much of the interest in the new publication grows out of the interpretation that was advanced, in which Judas Iscariot is understood as a hero, more or less, the greatest of the disciples, to whom Jesus entrusted his most important teaching. Ongoing critical study of the Coptic text, however, has raised troubling questions about this interpretation and on what basis it rests. The recent recovery of more fragments of the text also undermines the widely reported interpretation. The present study reviews several recent publications that suggest a very different interpretation.
2013 The Dispositio of the Gospel of Judas
Zeitschrift für Antikes Christentum 17,1 , 2013
Upon first reading, the Gospel of Judas gives the impression that it is a work composed by an author who was not greatly concerned with organizational matters. However, when we look more closely at it, we are obliged to rethink this first impression. Patterns in the recurrence of themes and language in the Gospel of Judas show the structural importance of a concentric series of inclusions; when these inclusions are taken into account, we see that the work is organized around two sections, with each section echoing and clarifying the other. This bipartite dispositio (to use a term from contemporary Greco-Roman rhetorical analysis) coheres perfectly with the text's content, in which the holy generation is opposed to mortal humans and in which a great deal of use is made of antithesis. The bipartite structure, the thematic dichotomy between the two groups, and the use of antithesis as a technique all work together to encourage readers to choose between the two options offered to them.
‘Gospel’ as a Literary Title in Early Christianity and the Question of What Is (and Is not) a ‘Gospel’ in Canons of Scholarly Literature
2010
The distinguished New Testament scholar and Bishop of Durham N. T. Wright in a book chapter entitled, "When Is a Gospel Not a Gospel?" objects to classifying the four NT gospels in the same literary category as any of the extracanonical gospels, such as the Gospel of Thomas or the recently discovered Codex Tchacos, commonly known as the Gospel of Judas: [T]he main difference is that, whereas the canonical gospels are news, Thomas and the others are advice. The canonical gospels tell a story of things that happened, through which the world has become a different place; "Thomas" and the others offer a list of musings, teachings about how one might engage in a different practice of spirituality, and through this means attain disembodied bliss. To that extent, though the gnostic documents do sometimes call themselves 'gospels,' they manifestly belong to a different genre. 1 Wright bases his criteria of what the NT gospels are-and what other gospels are not-on the following "tripartite theme which runs through … all" the canonical gospels but not the others: 2 First, they are recounting how the long story of God and Israel came to its God-ordained climax. 3
