Personally, I think that's because of the juxtaposition of the events being (re)told through the eyes of Judas Iscariot alongside the more modern setting, which is just *odd*: here, for example, the Roman empire seems to have access to jet fighters, tanks and rifles (amongst others ...)
I think if they had stuck to a more 'traditional' production design instead of trying to marry the story with a modern setting it would have worked better.

Grace s dealing with her own secrets.

Francine Rivers has done a superb job writing this novel. She has created intriguing characters that every reader can relate to. The author has run with an idea of how a childhood trauma can impact adult life; how two broken individuals can find completeness together. The author also brings out the issues of how we as persons can fall into traps and be thrown into the worldly ways, only to suffer the consequences of our actions.
She also points out that we are saved by Grace and that God loves us, and sometimes some of us have to realize there is a hell in order to hear and understand the truth.
A wonderful novel that the reader will not be able to put down. Well written and keeps the reader wanting more.
