Bible Question: Hi Hank--I know this is "widley accepted"--but I don't know why--do you? thanks-angel-1 |
Bible Answer: Angel-1 -- The fourth gospel never states explictly that the apostle John was "the disciple whom Jesus loved" nor even that it was John who wrote this Gospel. The traditional view, however, has been held since early in the church's history that the Apostle John was the author and that he was the disciple whom Jesus loved. ...... Here is a brief note from Layman's Bible Commentary, vol. 19, p. 15 (Broadman Press): "The Gospel of John is actually anonymous. But many attempts have been made to identify the author of this popular Gospel account. The traditional understanding has been that John the Apostle, the son of Zebedee, was the author of the Gospel of John. Part of that reasoning goes back to the statement of Irenaeus, an early church father (about AD 200) who identified John as the apostle who leaned on Jesus' breast at the Last Supper. He indicated that John had written the Gospel. Added to this is the identification of John as the beloved disciple which many see (although not all interpreters think it was John) as the touch of an eyewitness. Also the author's use of 'I' and 'we' contribute to the thinking that John the Apostle was the author." --Hank |
