Ancient Epistle of Barnabas: A Commentary

by Ken Johnson

The ancient Epistle of Barnabas is often quoted by the early church fathers. Although not considered to be inspired Scripture, it was used to combat legalism in the first two centuries. Besides explaining why the Law of Moses is not binding on Christians, the epistle explains how many of the Old Testament rituals teach prophecy. Subjects explored are Yom Kippur; the Red Heifer ritual; animal sacrifices; circumcision; the Sabbath; Daniel’s visions, the end-time, ten-nation empire and the Temple.

This is another ancient document that proves the early church was pre-millennial and constantly looking for the rapture and the fulfillment of many end-time prophecies. Ken Johnson provides a thorough examination of this apocryphal book, which offers great insights into many biblical events.
