Gospel of Judas Found?

The N.Y. Times today reports that the long-sought Gnostic text known as "The Gospel of Judas" has been found in Egypt. It is apparently contained in an early fourth century A.D. Coptic manuscript. I would like to read the text myself (in translation--sadly I do not read Coptic) and hear the judgments of scholars whose qualifications I know and respect before I will form an opinion about this text myself, but I am pretty sure the comments of Elaine Pagels et al in the Times article are overblown. This is a yet another in a long list of late antique Gnostic texts, not some great revelation. It is too much to say that "these discoveries are exploding the myth of a monolithic religion." That "myth" was long ago "exploded" by the existence of the heretical sects opposed in the canonical letters of the Apostles Paul and John and the work of St. Irenaeus. No thoughtful person today believes that everyone who claimed to be a Christian in antiquity accepted the orthodox, Catholic faith of the apostolic college. Dozen of Gnostic writings of comparable date to this purported find have been known since the 1940's. I am glad that scholars have another such Gnostic text to study (if in fact is proves to be genuine), but let's keep things in perspective, shall we? Read the story here.
