  • Overview: The author offers a fresh and detailed examination of this question. He dismantles the long-held theory that the Fourth Gospel was generally avoided or resisted by orthodox Christians, while being treasured by various dissenting grous, throughout most of the second century. Integrating a wide range of literary and non-literary sources, this book demonstrates the failure of several old stereo-types about the Johannine literature. It also collects the full evidence for the second-century Church's conception of these writings as a group: the Johannine books were not treated as isolated from each other but from early on were recognized as a corpus.
