JUDAS,
OTHERWISE
Everyone knows the name Judas Iscariot.
Everyone knows what he did.
But what if no one has truly understood why?
Judas, Otherwise reimagines the most infamous betrayal in history through the eyes of the disciple who committed it.
Set in first-century Palestine beneath Roman occupation and rising unrest, this haunting historical novel follows Judas as he is drawn into a storm of loyalty, fear, ambition, love, guilt, and faith. As the world around Jesus grows more volatile, Judas is forced toward choices that will wound not only the people he loves, but the course of history itself.
This is not the story of a monster.
It is the story of a man.
A man who longed to matter.
A man who believed he understood what had to be done.
A man caught between devotion and ruin, between free will and destiny, between the kingdom he hoped for and the tragedy he helped unleash.
Emotionally rich, morally searching, and deeply human, Judas, Otherwise explores betrayal, sorrow, consequence, and the terrible cost of trying to force God’s hand.
