An Exploration of the Authorship of John's Gospel
Kolawole Oladotun Paul

Abstract:
Recent observations have shown that regular many Christians (even ordinary Church goers) have their favourite scripture quotations of the New Testament in the Gospel of John. John's Gospel is well known and oft-quoted texts as: "God so loved the world that he gave his only son that whoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life", "Jesus wept," among others. Far beyond these observations, the cardinality of this book to the whole Canon of the New Testament cannot be discarded; however, modern and recent scholarship engagement of John's gospel brings the authorship issue in to lime light. Although many have disagreed against John the Disciple as the author of the Gospel; nevertheless, the argument for Him though probe-able is more probable.
