In the West the epistle never enjoyed canonical authority (though it...

The document which is always known as the Epistle of Barnabas is, like 1st Clement, really anonymous, and it is generally regarded as impossible to accept the tradition which ascribes it to the Barnabas who was a companion of S. Paul, though it is convenient to continue to use the title.It is either a general treatise or was intended for some community in which Alexandrian ideas prevailed, though it is not possible to define either its destination, or the locality from which it was ...

Many of us are either doing things the way they have always been done or we are looking to the business world and the culture around us to try to find out why our numbers are shrinking and our influence in the community around us is negligible. It's time for us to get back to the basics of New Testament Christian...
