Jeszcze o autorstwie IV Ewangelii
Antoni Paciorek
Abstract
Basing himself, implicitly or explicitly, on the findings of diachronic and synchronic studies on the author of the Fourth Gospel, the author presents his own opinion about the authorship of this Gospel. He believes that it is John, the son of Zebedee, on of the Twelve Apostles. The work of John the Apostle is continued by John’s collaborator, one of the most prominent personalities of John’s community, namely John the Presbyter. It is in his surrounding, in Ephesus, that the proper edition of the Fourth Gospel was completed. And it is there that John the Apostle, the father of church community, which came from Syria to Asia Minor, was called “the disciple whom Jesus loved”. The last editor, after the death of John the Presbyter, in face of the dangers threatening the Church in Asia, intended to bind it closely with the authority of the “beloved disciple”, that is John son of Zebedee. He did it through his final remarks on the writing of the Gospel. From that time, that is from the time of the last edition the belief that John the Apostle was its author has paved its victorious way through ages. At the time the main editor of the Fourth Gospel, i.e. John the Presbyter, has fallen into oblivion.Keywords:
