Judas Iscariot: Revisited and Restored
This book is not an apologetic for the sins of Judas. But the author of JUDAS ISCARIOT REVISITED AND RESTORED is convinced that there is more to the Judas story than has been told. Rogers is further convinced that until we finally understand the unlikely relationship between the "sinner" Judas and the "Savior" Jesus, we will never fully appreciate God's response to our own faults and failures. Many are convinced that God's grace i.e. "unmerited favor" must somehow first be merited (an oxymoron). With Judas, Rogers demonstrates that God's forgiveness is unearned and unlimited.
"This book is riveting from the first page! Rogers challenges us to look directly into the face of Judas until slowly an awful realization will dawn on our collective "My God, Judas is us!" (An excerpt from the book's "Foreword") by Max Davis, author of Desperate Dependence, Thriving on the Jagged Edge, and Success Secrets of the World's Most Cynical Man.
Ivan Rogers has served in Christian ministry for many years. He has been a pastor, Bible college president and executive director of an eight-state area of churches. Ivan presently serves as staff chaplain of a retirement community. Ivan is also respected and very involved in the field of Jewish-Christian relations. He resides in the state of Iowa.

A well written book about the fate of Judas! If Judas will be reconciled then who won't be??
The author, Ivan Rogers, does an excellent job for making the case that Judas will be restored and is forgiven. Judas' path was not his own, it was prophecied, it was necessary, and it was one that was a massive part of the sacrifice that frees us all. There are several refernces to the original greek. Great book!

what an eye opener!
You will have to read this book with Bible in hand, examining the references careful and thoughtfully. This is NOT light bedtime reading, but an enlightening interpretation of scriptures and a deep dive into Judas, his pivotal role in fulfilling scriptures and his plea for forgiveness. A MUST read.

Lots of good material, presented concisely. But it's embarrassingly poorly edited.
