Apostle Barnabas Books

Barnabas, an early Christian convert from Jerusalem, was a Levite and among the earliest disciples. Designated an apostle, he and Saint Paul embarked on significant missionary journeys. Together, they championed the inclusion of Gentile converts, resisting factions that advocated for their circumcision. Their evangelism successfully reached communities in Antioch and various Hellenized cities, attracting many followers. His life and work are chronicled in the Acts of the Apostles and mentioned in Paul's epistles, though traditional attributions for authorship of certain writings remain speculative.
