Avoiding The Judas Complex offers a study of the alienation Judas experienced in his discipleship. He began as a sincere follower of Jesus. Disenchantment with Jesus began when Judas disapproved of Christ’s: disavowal of wealth; refusal to accept public acclaim; acceptance of undesirables; failure to value friends and family; spiritual emphasis; and alienation of the leadership. After Judas betrayed Jesus and knew the leadership intended to kill him, Judas began to re-evaluate his actions. That led him to understand that Jesus had been a true man of God. By then, Judas had gone so far in his self-pity he could only pay for his mistakes by suicide.
