“Saving Judas”—A Social Scientific Approach to Judas's Suicide in Matthew 27:3—10

Abstract

This article examines Judas's suicide, reported in Matthew 27:3—10. Through the use of cross-cultural analysis with the Gainj of New Zealand, it argues that Judas's suicide is not a shameful act, but is an honorable one that atones for Judas's “sin” of betraying Jesus's innocent blood.
