About the author
Barnabas
59 books13 followersChristian convert Saint Barnabas, originally Joses the Levite or Joseph, in floruit in first century AD went as missionary with Paul to Cyprus and Asia Minor.
Barnabas (Βαρναβᾶς) joined the earliest disciples in Jerusalem. Barnabas like almost all disciples at the time came of the specific children of Israel. Named an apostle in Acts 14:14, he undertook journeys together and defended Gentile against a faction, promoting circumcision. They gained many persons in Antioch circa 43-44, traveled together to make more circa 45 to 47, and participated in the council of Jerusalem circa 50. Barnabas successfully evangelized among the "God-fearing" Gentiles, who attended synagogues in various Hellenized cities of Anatolia.
Mention in some epistles corroborate apparent story of Barnabas in the Acts of the Apostles. Tertullian in conjecture named and attributed him as the author of the Epistle to the Hebrews Clement of Alexandria ascribed a highly improbable early Epistle of Barnabas.
Tradition identifies this martyr at Salamis in 61 as the founder of its church. People celebrate the feast day of Saint Barnabas on 11 June.
Some traditions hold Aristobulus of Britannia of the seventy Disciples as the brother of Barnabas.
