Among Native American writers and scholars, none have been more internationally engaged than Gerald Vizenor.

The manuscript itself was turned over to a foundation that is run by the dealer’s lawyer who says that it will eventually be returned to Egypt. Nonetheless, the president of the Archaeological Institute of America calls the whole transaction “dealing with a looted object” (Meier/Wilford). Needless to add that the Gospel of Judas presents the story of Jesus from a different angle.
