Etymology and origin[]

Barnabas was one of the earliest Christian disciples in Jerusalem. He and Paul the Apostle undertook missionary journeys together, defended Gentile converts against the Judaizers and participated in the Council of Jerusalem.

Barnabas's story hearkens to the story of Frankenstein about an eccentric scientist who creates a grotesque creature in an unorthodox scientific experiment.
