Produktbeschreibung

Saint John the Evangelist, possibly the Beloved Disciple, is the speculated author of the Gospel of John and the First Epistle of John. Traditionally he has been identified with John the Apostle. The identification with the author of the Second and Third Epistle of John and the author of the Book of Revelation is a long-held tradition.The Gospel of John refers to an unnamed "Beloved Disciple" of Jesus who bore witness to the gospel's message.The editors of the Gospel, who record the Beloved Disciple's death, seem interested in the author's anonymity.Apparently this disciple of Jesus had not been well known, but had greatly outlived Peter.The apostle John was a historical figure, one of the "pillars" of the Jerusalem church after Jesus' death.Many scholars believe that John was martyred along with his brother, as Jesus predicts in Mark. The tradition that John lived to old age in Ephesus and that he wrote this gospel date from the late second century.
