Is the book of "John, John (1,2,3) and Revelation" all written by one single author? Thanks.?

Answer 1

Yes, the author of John 1,2,3, and Revelation are all written by the Apostle John. However John the Baptist is a totally different person. Hope to have helped. :)

Answer 2

Do the math . . . if Jesus and his followers (including John the apostle) were around 25-34, when Jesus was executed in around 33. And "Revelation," was written around 95. Then that would make John the apostle around 90 years old when The Revelation to John was written -- in a era when most people didn't reach 60.

Compare the writing styles -- the Gospel of John and The Revelation to John are written in two completely different writing styles.

Compare the Gospel to the letters --

The relationship of 1 John to the fourth gospel has been the subject of much scholarly debate. Kummel argues that the gospel and the letter are from the same author (Introduction to the New Testament, pp. 442-5). Norman Perrin presents a solution that connects the redactor of John with the author of the letter (The New Testament: An Introduction, pp. 222-3):

Are the gospel and letters from the same author? They have a unity of general style, tone, and thought that seems to indicate they are, especially in the case of the letters and the discourses in the gospel. But a closer examination reveals a poverty of style in the first letter compared to the gospel - "the author works to death a few favorite constructions, and his vocabulary is more limited than that of the gospel" - and some real differences in thought. The latter aspect of the matter is particularly important since these differences concern eschatology and the sacraments. The author of the letter has a strong hope for the future, a version of the traditional Christian hope for the parousia (2:17, 18, 28; 3:2, 3; 4:17), and he has a great interest in the sacraments of the church (2:12, 20, 27; 3:9; 5:1, 6). In the gospel of John the main thrust is toward the denial of the hope of the parousia, on the grounds that the first coming of Jesus was the decisive event and no further coming, no further judgment, is to be expected (3:16-21, 36, and elsewhere). But throughout the gospel are individual sayings that express the more traditional Christian hope (5:27-29; 6:39-40; 44b, 54; 12:48). Similarly with the sacraments: the gospel as a whole puts its major emphasis on the idea that men are brought to faith by their response to the church's proclamation (3:31-36 and elsewhere), and has no particular concern for the sacraments. Yet the words "water and" in 3:5 make that verse an unmistakable reference to baptism, where no such reference exists apart from those two words; 6:51b-58 makes the discourse on the bread of life sacramental, whereas without those verses it is not; and 19:34b-35 introduces an allusion to baptism as it interrupts the continuity of the narrative.

The Bible is much more complex than a flattened Sunday School lesson for 10 year-olds.

Godspeed you on your journey of discovery.

Answer 3

I have heard conflicting reports. Some believe that John was written by John the apostle and 1st, 2nd, 3rd John and revelation was written by a different John.

I tend to think they were written by the same person as the style the books were written in seem similar to me but that is just from reading the translations.

Answer 4

Yes. John the Beloved wrote them all.

The masterful way in which John wrote the words of Revelation are now revealed in THE book that explains it all. The commentary of the book supports the truths he expected to disclose ("Apocalypse" in Greek) to the people of the latter days. His truths confound all those who have set themselves up above others as leaders “called of God” to reveal the truth to the world.


The books of the New Testament were not selected, edited, and collated until hundreds of years after the death of Jesus. John was still alive then, and in disguise, visited those responsible for its canonization. His writings were profound. They gave the editors a different view of Jesus’ ministry than that which had been passed down from one generation to the next. John also delivered his manuscript for his Revelation to the editors, knowing they would never comprehend its meaning because of the symbolic and metaphorical way in which it was written. In this way, John maintained the integrity of the manuscript for hundreds of years.

Answer 5

Scholars have debated this question for nearly two thousand years, and there does not seem to be any general consensus.

Personally, I think the Apostle John wrote all five, but I can't state that authoritatively. I'm open to the idea that another John could have written the epistles (although I doubt it), but I think that the Apostle himself almost certainly wrote the Gospel of John and Revelation.

Answer 6

According to the notes in my version of the Bible they were written by John, son of Zebedee, disciple of Jesus.

John - approx. 90 AD
1 John - some years prior to 110 AD
2 John - within the last 2 decades of the 1st century
3 John - approx 80 AD (just because they are numbered 1,2,3 does not mean that is the order they were written)
Rev - approx 64 AD

Answer 7

Yes, John the Apostle

ADL ( Anti Defamation League) is an exclusive tool in the hand of a minute minority of ZIONIST jews in the US, its major aim promote HATE and DEFAMATION at its best... its directives are exactly opposite of its title! No wonder they have sided against the two writers when they exposed the reality of the cancerous tentacles of zionism in America.. The two writers are not anti-Semitic for they did not express anti-Semitic racial views, to the contrary they have sided with a Semitic group well known to the rest of the world and had "America First" interest in their mind.. we All must be militant to brainwashing and the "defamation" attempts by the true enemies of America , Democracy and Human rights! ----------------------------------------... Reply to MR_RIEUX I am astonished to the abundant sources(links) adjoined to his support for the ADL , and the avalanche of detail to prove John M. & Steve W. flawed in their paper about the zionism hold in the American politics. I am certain the majority of respondents to the Question have similar feelings ( by poll) : mr_rieux you the one that flawed in your defense to the indefensible, you are instituting political prostitution and intelligence genocide, I suggest you spare us the "customary" venom of the zionism propaganda you are taking part , you and the critics to the writers above are tainting the truth to get a moronic immoral US president lie to his teeth and participate woth your kind in murders and destructions of civility. It's high time to clean up the House from Warmongers zionist Neocons.. Sir you are a NEOCON ZIONIST!
