 Publisher’s Note |
A more fitting title for Mr. Luguya's 917 page tome, which is titled The Gospel According to Judas Iscariot (3rd Original Books Edition, 2007), is "The Gospel According to the Evil Ghost"!
The fictitious author, Christian Mjomba (Judas Iscariot), himself readily confesses, as he commences work on his "Thesis on Original Virtue", that he is a "prisoner of his own imagination". And it is as a direct result of that condition that Christian Mjomba’s reckless gambit of trying to use Old Scratch (the devil) as his mouthpiece for expounding |
|
on the Church's dogmas backfires, with very disastrous
consequences. Using the platform that was handed to him freely by the seminarian, the devil takes over and, according to one reviewer, even "teaches more than the Christian"! In the end, sadly, like his namesake who betrayed the "Deliverer" with a kiss, Christian Mjomba finds that his actions are seriously jeopardizing his own
salvation. |
