As the prior post has indicated, the Gospel of Judas almost certainly will not be added to anyone's Bible. There is a much stronger case for wider acceptance in early Christian Circles for the Secret Sayings of Thomas, the Shepherd of Hermes, and the Epistle of Barnabas; all compositions which pre-date Judas, and which have been in circulation for decades (centuries in some instances!); and yet none of these have been added to any of the traditional Christian canons of scripture.

The Christian faith—much like Early and Rabbinic Judaism, and Islam—has proven through its history to be remarkably adaptable. Regardless of what is uncovered among the other writings included with the Gospel of Judas, I am convinced that the Church will continue to conduct business as usual. As a Christian, I for one relish the opportunity to investigate yet another piece of ancient literature which informs the history of my faith's origins and development.
