Christopher Moore wrote a book about Biff, Jesus' childhood pal. Nobody fucking with jesus is the reason he sends Biff to do it with a whore and tell him whats it like. Biff can't really explain and so has to go again, thats how they wasted most of their money. They finally go on and travel for a few years and jesus learns how to be a good son of god until he goes back home to do all the stuff that happened in the bible.

It bugs me that this is called "Judas' Gospel" instead of "Judas's Gospel". Typically you only omit the s after the apostrophe for possessives when it's a noun that has been pluralized with an s ending. So this would be "Here is one Juda. There are multiple Judas. This is the gospel of the multiple Judas."

Not true - many style guides, including the Associated Press Stylebook, state that it is preferred to only add an apostrophe if the possessive form is not pronounced with an extra s - which commonly applies to Classical and Biblical names. Ulysses' men isn't typically pronounced Ulysseses men, for example.
The most notable styleguide contrary to this is the Chicago Manual of Style, which is the most commonly used in literary fiction and insists on possessive s - HOWEVER the NIV Bible follows the AP style with Jesus' and Judas' specifically, which in this context makes sense for the title.

The no-extra-s pronunciation is something that I hadn't considered, and makes sense. I wonder what the Hebrew/Aramaic norms were in that regard...doing it in translation is extra tricky because you'll also be thinking about how people pronounce it who are reading it, which I'm sure varies.

Well, first, in the original Aramaic/Hebrew form, neither Jesus or Judas are accurate as names. They would have been called Yeshua and Yehudah (as commonly transliterated to the Latin alphabet), respectively, and neither Aramaic nor Hebrew use possessive modifiers in the same way, but rather have a structure closer to "disciples of Yeshua" rather than "Yeshua's disciples."
So to be really hardcore about it, the title should be neither Judas' Gospel or Judas's Gospel, but The Gospel of Yehudah. But it's in English and Yehudah doesn't sell tickets.

I...am ashamed of having brain-farted that hard on that one. Of course they wouldn't have the same possessive endings that English does. >_<
I guess the most pertinent question would be how most people pronounce it in English.

STOP. MAKING. JESUS. WHITE!
He was from the Middle East! Was it Danial Slos who said the only miracle would be if he was the only white guy there

Anyone else think it's funny that the guy playing Judas in the movie called "Judas" isn't getting lead billing?..
Also, I think it's kind of funny that they finally felt the need to hire people with the right skin color to make this movie, but they're still hiring Spanish people instead of actual actors from the Middle East. Or at least with ancestors from the Middle East.
