The Epistle of Barnabas from the Sinaitic Manuscript of the Bible is a book written by Samuel Sharpe. It is a translation of an ancient text known as the Epistle of Barnabas, which is believed to have been written in the late 1st or early 2nd century AD. The text is attributed to Barnabas, a companion of the apostle Paul, and it contains a mixture of Christian teachings and Jewish traditions. The Sinaitic Manuscript is a version of the Bible that was discovered in the 19th century at the Monastery of St. Catherine on Mount Sinai. It is one of the oldest surviving copies of the Bible, and it includes the Epistle of Barnabas. In this book, Sharpe provides a translation of the Epistle of Barnabas from the Sinaitic Manuscript into English. He also includes an introduction that provides background information on the text and its historical context. The book is intended for scholars and students of early Christian literature, as well as anyone interested in the history of Christianity.1880. The Epistle of Barnabas seems to claim notice in any life of the Apostle Paul: first, because the two apostles had at one time lived in close friendship, and it in part explains why at a later time Paul's feelings toward Barnabas were changed. And secondly, because it offers the earliest example of the Gnosticism which was creeping into the Christian churches, very much to the trouble of Paul.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
