George Sale, Lonsdale and Laura Ragg, and every honest scholar who has given himself to an unbiased study of the book concur that The Gospel of Barnabas is nothing more than forgery. And every unprejudiced searcher after truth who will compare it with the authentic Gospel record in the New Testament will inevitably conclude the same.

It is not a book fitting to be used by Muslims or Christians because of its many inaccuracies and many misrepresentations of facts. The Gospel of Barnabas actually makes a parody of historical truth and is an insult to honest, intelligent men. In the search for authentic historical evidence for the true beginnings of Christianity it must be rejected as not having any objective value. When compared to the historical evidence supporting the validity of the Bible and especially the four gospel accounts in the New Testament, the Gospel of Barnabas cannot legitimately be compared to the Bible. It disqualifies itself as a historical source for the life and ministry of Jesus and only qualifies to be regarded as a curious piece of Medieval Muslim/Christian polemical literature.
