Clarifies the confusion surrounding John's identity

You will gain insights into Johannine traditions and narratives

This book explores the complex identity of John the Evangelist in early Christian texts.

This book examines how the identification of John the Evangelist with the Apostle John, the son of Zebedee, from around the third century, gave rise to various conflated narratives. Dean Furlong argues that this culminated in Eusebius’s synthesis of the traditions, which provided the template for the traditional Johannine narrative.
