| | The Epistle of Barnabus |
 | | Barnabas 1:2 Seeing that the ordinances of God are great and rich unto you, I rejoice with an exceeding great and overflowing joy at your blessed and glorious spirits; so innate is the grace of the spiritual gift that ye have received. | | | Barnabas 12:10 Behold again it is Jesus, not a son of man, but the Son of God, and He was revealed in the flesh in a figure. | | | Barnabas 8:3 The children who sprinkle are they that preached unto us the forgiveness of sins and the purification of our heart, they to whom, being twelve in number for a testimony unto the tribes (for there are twelve tribes of Israel), He gave authority over the Gospel, that they should preach it. |

| | The Epistle of Barnabas - Charles Bigg |
| | What Barnabas desires to show is that the old scriptures by innumerable dark hints had prepared the Church for that very catastrophe which had occurred. | | | In the Church of Barnabas there were clergy; he does not describe their orders or special functions. | | | The same thought had been present to the mind of the author of the Epistle to the Hebrews not many years before, but there is a woful contrast in the intelligence of the two writers. |

| | Articles - Epistle of Barnabas |
| | The author does not quote any of the Gospels or Paul& epistles; no doubt had read Paul& epistles; he has a good knowledge of gospel-history but which of the gospels, if any, he had read, can not be asserted. | | | The 4th century Codex Sinaiticus, in which the Epistle and the Shepherd of Hermas follow the canonical books of the New Testament, contains a more complete manuscript of the text, which is independent of the preceding group of texts. | | | The same is true for the citations from the Epistle in the writings of Clement of Alexandria, Origen and others. |

| | Gospel of Barnabas |
| | The epistle may or may not have been written by the Barnabas of Acts, but it is quoted by early church fathers like Clement of Alexandria, who about 170 AD, stated the epistle was authentic. | | | The Gospel of Barnabas says Jesus stated "I am not the Messiah" (sec. | | | The Gospel of Barnabas is a fake work. |

| | The "Gospel of Barnabas" |
| | There seems to be some confusion between the Epistle of Barnabas and the Gospel of Barnabas. | | | Gospel of Barnabas (I), rejected among a list of forgeries in the 6th century. | | | I had taken out of the basket, but also other parts of the Old Testament, the Hew Testament complete, AND THE EPISTLE OF BARNABAS and a part of the Shepard of Hermes. |

| | The General Epistle of Barnabas |
| | Barnabas may interpret all apocalyptic prophecies as spiritual analogies, for he says the ten kings will "reign in the heart," misquoting Daniel. | | | Although a heavenly altar is mentioned in Revelation 6:9, 8:3, 9:13, and 14:18, it is clear from the context and other citations that Barnabas refers to the church altar where the Eucharist is celebrated. | | | Because he and Paul had "hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ" (Acts 15:26), Barnabas indeed had the credentials to command respect and the authority to write this Epistle. |

| | The Epistle of Barnabas |
| | If one is willing to argue that the Epistle was written in the first century, other grounds must be found for doubting the traditional authorship if one wishes to be dogmatic on that point. | | | Thus Barnabas provides an important witness both to the kinds of sources available to early Christian authors, and to the actual transition between a sophisticated hellenistic Judaism and Christianity in its earliest stages. | | | On the one hand, Muilenburg's claim that "the text of the Epistle of Barnabas is on the whole well preserved, especially in comparison with other writings of the same general period" (p.14) is substantiated -- few of the above variants are particularly significant in themselves. |

| | The Development of the Canon of the New Testament - Epistle of Barnabas |
| | In short, the Epistle of Barnabas is a good and early example of what became the dominant method of interpreting the Bible in the early and medieval church. | | | Writing at a time when the level of antagonism between church and synagogue still ran high, the anonymous author of the "epistle" is concerned to prove that the death of Christ on the cross is a sacrifice that fulfills a plan set forth in the Old Testament (9.7-9). | | | The author attempts to show that only Christians understand the true meaning of the Scriptures (10.12) and that they are the true and intended heirs of God's covenant. |
