Das Evangelium des Heiligen Barnabas, lange verborgen, wurde im 16. Jahrhundert aus dem Vatikan veröffentlicht und befindet sich heute in der Wiener Staatsbibliothek. Es widerspricht der traditionellen Lehre, indem es Judas Ischariot als den Gekreuzigten darstellt. Der Text gilt als älteste bekannte Schrift jüdisch-christlicher Tradition und regt zur Neubewertung von Jesus' Glauben an.
