The term "Bible of Barnabas" is likely a misunderstanding. The Bible, as used by Christians, refers to a collection of sacred texts and does not include any individual books attributed to a single author like Barnabas.
There is, however, a text called the Gospel of Barnabas. Here's some information about it:
- Not part of the Bible: The Gospel of Barnabas is not considered canonical by any major Christian denomination. This means it is not considered divinely inspired scripture.
- Late origin: Scholars believe it was written much later, around the 15th or 16th century, and not by the Barnabas mentioned in the New Testament.
- Contradicts Christian teachings: The Gospel of Barnabas differs from the Bible on key points. For instance, it denies the divinity of Jesus and his crucifixion.
The Gospel of Barnabas is interesting from a historical perspective, but it's not a foundational text for Christianity.
