Much of the controversy and dispute concerning the authenticity of the Gospel of Barnabas can be re-expressed as debating whether specific highly transgressive themes ( from an orthodox Christian perspective ) might already have been present in the source materials utilised by a 14th – 16th century vernacular author, whether they might be due to that author himself, or whether they might even have been interpolated by the subsequent editor.
