National Geographic has a thorough website about the recently published
Gospel of Judas. The site offers the complete Coptic text, an English translation, and a
14-minute webcast of a press announcement about the discovery, conservation, and context of the manuscript (including a very brief contribution from Gnostic scholar
Elaine Pagels). There's plenty to be found on the web about the Gospel itself (
1)(
2)(
3), gnosticism, etc.
The library will set about ordering both Geographic's primary scholarly publication, and some books about the gospel and its historical context. We do have a number of older books about the Gnostics, but for the current topic you are better off using the web until some current books are available.
