A Time for Judas

For thoughtful child sponsors

A Time for Judas is a novel by Canadian author Morley Callaghan, published in 1983. It tells the story of a man in modern times who sees tablets that are written by a scribe named Philo of Crete or Philo the Greek. These tablets are from the time of Jesus and are Philo's telling of Jesus' last days and the aftermath, his resurrection. This modern day man writes a novel based on these tablets. The bulk of the novel is this man's novel, i.e. a retelling of sorts of Philo's story.
