It doesn't seem to project the ideas of the earlier Barnabas.

I've never read Barnabas, but the wiki entry makes it sound a lot like The Second Treatise of the Great Seth.
This text sounds like something new entirely. I hope we get a full translation soon...

There is a Gospel of Barnabus that the Muslims love to parade in front of me. It has it's good share of anachronisms though, and it actually dates to the middle ages. The ancient Catholics and the ancient Muslems share a common trait, in that they loved to produce the "authentic" writings that "answer" "current" questions.

Ha, that trend seems to have been in vogue all through ancient history. It's interesting to see a Muslim response to Christianity though.

I actually found the Epistle of Barnabas more in line with Pauline (and catholic) thought. A little ritualistic, and old law.
