Lit Wisdom Podcast: Episode 2 – "The Gospel of Barnabas: A Controversial Narrative"

"An alternative Gospel, a disputed history, and a perspective that challenges the norm—let’s unravel the story of The Gospel of Barnabas."

In this episode of Lit Wisdom, we dive into The Gospel of Barnabas, a text shrouded in controversy and mystery. Claimed by some to be the true account of Jesus’ life, this gospel rejects the crucifixion and reshapes the narrative of his ministry in ways that challenge the foundations of mainstream Christianity.

Where did this text come from? How does it intersect with Islamic theology, and why has it been dismissed by scholars as a medieval forgery? We’ll explore its origins, its place in the tapestry of apocryphal literature, and the claims that have made it a touchstone for conspiracy and debate.

Whether it’s a tool for understanding interfaith dialogue or simply a window into the manipulation of religious history, The Gospel of Barnabas offers lessons for today’s seekers—on discernment, faith, and the search for truth.

This is Lit Wisdom—where no text is too controversial to explore. Join us as we examine the lines between history, faith, and fiction.
