The Gospel Of Barnabas

Description

The Gospel Of Barnabas

The Gospel of Barnabas, translated and edited by Lonsdale Ragg and Laura Ragg, is a significant work in the field of comparative religion and Islamic-Christian studies. From an Islamic perspective, Muslims are required to believe in previous Prophets and their revealed scriptures. The Qur’an affirms that Jesus (Isa) received the Injil (Gospel). While the exact nature of that revelation remains historically debated, this text is regarded by many Muslims as an alternative account that aligns more closely with Islamic teachings about Isa. The work presents a narrative of Jesus’ life and message that differs in key respects from the four canonical Gospels of modern Christianity, making it a subject of enduring discussion and scholarly interest.
