A microfilm copy of the Gospel of Barnabas in the Library of Congress was obtained, and a fresh edition of the English translation was printed in Pakistan. A copy of this edition was used for the purposes of reprinting a revised version of the Gospel of Barnabas thereafter.  The new English edition, understandably, has caused the present Christian Church a certain degree of irritation - for if the contents of the Gospel of Barnabas are true, then it clearly follows that most of the versions of Christianity which exist today - and accordingly the various Churches which promote them - do not have very firm foundations. This is because the Gospel of Barnabas confirms that Jesus was not God, nor the 'son' of God, and that he was neither crucified in the first place, nor subsequently 'raised from the dead' thereafter. Accordingly virtually all the established churches, however near or far they are to each other, have united in their various efforts to discredit the English version of the Gospel of Barnabas by discrediting the Italian edition from which it was translated.

Why did they hide the Barnabas Bible?

Note that John chapter 8, begins with verse 12. Can you imagine any chapter in any religious Book beginning with verse 12 as the first verse? Verses 1 to 11 are expunged as a fabrication by the 32 Christian Scholars of the highest eminence, backed by 50 cooperating denominations in their 'Most up to date Version of the Bible' the Revised Standard Version, first published in 1952. The translators claimed to have had access to the 'Most Ancient Manuscripts' from which they learnt that the story about the adulteress was a fabrication.
