Endnote 3 – Queries & Comments

Although the exact date for The Epistle of Barnabas is impossible to determine, Bacchiocchi seems to have allowed his thesis to influence his dating of this document. 135 A.D. is a very late date. Cyril C. Richardson, for example, dates his epistle at 100–130 A.D. in Early Christian Fathers (New York Macmillan, 1970), p. 162.
