The state of the question and plan for this book -- The Johannine writings in the second century. John among the orthodox, c.170-200 -- Gaius of Rome and the Johannine controversy -- John and the 'the Gnostics' -- John among the orthodox, 150-c.170 -- John among the orthodox, before c.150 -- The 'Johannine Corpus' in the second century.

Subject: The books traditionally associated with John the Apostle constitute a major portion of the Christian New Testament. The influence of these books, particularly the Gospel according to John and the book of Revelation, has been immense both in Christianity and in Western culture. This study provides a fresh examination of how these books were accepted--or not accepted--in the early Church, and in so doing demonstrates why long-held theories about them must be discarded and replaced. - Publisher.
