The Gospel of Barnabas

Book • 1973
The Gospel of Barnabas is a non-canonical text that presents a radically different version of the events surrounding Jesus's crucifixion.

It claims that Judas and Jesus switched places before the betrayal, with Judas being crucified in Jesus's stead.

This gospel offers a unique perspective on the identity of the crucified figure and challenges the traditional narrative.

It also includes a scene where Jesus ascends to heaven and then requests to return to earth to rectify the situation.

The text's unorthodox interpretation of biblical events and its focus on Judas's role make it a controversial but intriguing addition to the extra-biblical literature.

It's known for its radical reinterpretation of the crucifixion and its unusual narrative structure.
