A chance remark about the betrayal of Jesus brought the ambitious John Clyford, a small college professor, to challenge his students to join him in a search of an off site archeological dig in a remote area of Israel. The team of respected students and professionals, including his beautiful assistant, Jean Tanagra, were diligently on site when an accidental discovery of a crypt containing the remains of an encased golden scroll occurred. This incredible find, The Golden Scroll, unfolds through newfound technical language instrumentation, an apparent last testimonial of one Judas ben Simon ish Kerioth. His lifes' story and that of his family are disclosed therein. This suspenseful tale reveals, through his eyes, what really happened that caused Judas to be selected as the one and only person that could be the Betrayer.
