	The Beloved Disciple (Eller) 3
		The assumption must be that the Beloved Disciple was around long enough to guide the development both of his own community of disciples and of his whole school of thought.
		The explanation (I propose) is that the man behind this Gospel (the Beloved Disciple, of course) had in fact been a disciple of John the Baptist and knew that this background of his was common knowledge.
		Indeed, the Synoptic evidence points to the conclusion that John-Z became Jesus' disciple on the Galilean seashore and that, therefore, the follower of the Baptist who earlier, down south, had become Jesus' disciple, subsequently to be known as "the disciple whom Jesus loved "--he must have been someone else.

		(259) asserts that the prominent role of female disciples was an early and firmly entrenched piece of tradition which quickly became an embarrassment to the male leaders of the emerging institutional church.
		It is further posited that she was the Beloved Disciple of the Fourth Gospel and, therefore, the founder and leader of what has come to be known as the Johannine Community.
		She notes, as does Brown, that the account of Peter and the Beloved Disciple running to the tomb together is "sandwiched between" Mary Magdalene's initial discovery of the Empty Tomb and her first encounter with the Risen Jesus.

		It is the Beloved Disciple who recognizes the resurrected Lord on the shore of Lake Tiberias and says to Peter, "It is the Lord!" (21:7).
		Although traditionally the Beloved Disciple has been identified with John the son of Zebedee, there is no indication of it at all in the Gospel.
		The Beloved Disciple is more cautious, but once he enters the tomb and sees the undisturbed grave clothes, his perceptiveness leads to faith in the resurrection.

		Setzer (259) asserts that the prominent role of female disciples was an early and firmly entrenched piece of tradition which quickly became an embarrassment to the male leaders of the emerging institutional church.
		This Beloved Disciple knew Jesus personally and was in the originating group of the Johannine Community (Brown 1979: 31).
		He says that the disciple is not referred to as the beloved simply because he is not yet a disciple of Jesus at this point in the story (Brown 1979: 33).

	Pietisten: The Beloved Disciple
		In the text on the last supper the Beloved Disciple is introduced as "one of the disciples—the one whom Jesus loved—reclining next to Jesus." And then, as we have noted, he is the one through whom Peter had to go in order to learn some undisclosed information.
		The role of the Beloved Disciple is as the son of Jesus’ mother.
		In this portrayal of the Beloved Disciple set within the commentary of the Gospel and especially the farewell discourses, the Gospel writer, I think, may be inviting his readers to share in that friendship and its rich qualities of loyalty, love and insight.

	The Holy Spirit is our Christian Goddess, Mother Mary and Mary Magdalene personify a female Holy Spirit and the Bride ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		In two passages of the text, the Beloved Disciple and Mary Magdalene seem to be two different individuals by having them appear together in the same scenes.
		In the Gospel of Philip and the Gospel of Mary she is the only person to whom the other disciples refer to as the one loved by Jesus more than the others and as the one who has a greater insight.
		Mary Magdalene, then, is the beloved disciple and the prototype of the perfected soul because, through her favored and unique relationship with Christ, she has entered into the perfect of Adam/Eve, then by becoming a perfected human being, Mary becomes, like Christ, androgynous, a true spiritual being.

	The Apostle John was not the beloved disciple that Jesus loved
		Contrast this with the term âdisciplesâ, which is used of numerous people (sometimes even including some or all of âthe twelveâ).
		The idea that âthe disciple whom Jesus lovedâ had to be one of âthe twelveâ has several problems, but the key thing to realize is that this idea isnât dictated by scripture.
		Then went out that other disciple, which was known unto the high priest, and spake unto her that kept the door, and brought in Peterâ.

		The purpose of this essay is to expose the theories of the identity of the beloved one, and present a simple conclusion based on the materials used for study.
		Just as Ôthe beloved discipleÕ, if a self-designation, implies not arrogance but a profound sense of indebtedness to grace, so the silence as to the identity of the beloved disciple may be a quiet way of refusing to give even the impression of sharing a platform with Jesus.Ó
		This conclusion, according to Brown, is a ludicrous and facetious assessment of the belief of the beloved one.

	Vision of the Beloved Disciple, The: Meeting Jesus in the Gospel of John by George T. Montague, S.M.
		Imagine being able to sit at the feet of the Beloved Disciple and to learn from him all that he had come to understand about the mystery of Jesus, having lived so closely with the Lord during his life and having pondered the wonder of it all for many years after.
		John's portrait of Jesus is an exalted one, revealing fascinating facets of his life and ministry very gradually, each element cryptically containing and pointing to the central mystery of the passion, death, resurrection of the Lord and his giving of the Holy Spirit.
		Montague's approach is to view Jesus from the perspective of the "Beloved Disciple," who he presumes is the key source for this Gospel's unique presentation of Jesus.

		The Gospel itself invites speculation as to the gender (and the identity) of the beloved disciple, as the author chose not to use the accepted Greek word for "son," which would have solidified the gender indicated.
		In quickly dismissing the possibility that the Beloved Disciple may have been a woman, Charlesworth probably rejected ideas that are more plausible than his own.
		The motive for concealing the identity of the Beloved Disciple may have been precisely because that disciple was indeed female, perhaps even Mary Magdalene.

	Commentary
		There has been considerable speculation and controversy regarding the identity of both the author and the Beloved Disciple ever since authorship by the apostle John was first proposed at the end of the 2nd century.
		Before considering the possibility of a woman being the author or the Beloved Disciple, it is worthwhile first to consider what early writers said on the identity of the Beloved Disciple and the author of the Fourth Gospel.
		Whether or not the assertion is correct that a woman was the Beloved Disciple and/or the author of the Fourth Gospel, the authentic history of the 1st century Christian communities makes clear that women had very active leadership roles in some churches.

		Although this disciple is traditionally identified as the apostle John, the Gospel itself does not make this identification.
		Regardless of the whether material in the Gospel was added early or late in the process of composition, it all derived from the witness of the Beloved Disciple as his teachings were developed and used in the worship of the community that gathered around him.
		Other sections of the Gospel, such as the calling of the first disciples (1:35-51) may also reflect the preaching of this group at a time when they were appealing to fellow Jews.

	Did Leonardo da Vinci believe that Mary Magdalene was the Beloved Disciple?
		In my article, I discuss my hypothesis that Mary Magdalene was probably the Beloved Disciple and, therefore, the true author of the Fourth Gospel (the Gospel of John).
		If Leonardo did believe that Mary Magdalene was the Beloved Disciple, for his own safety he needed to be very careful about sharing that only with people he could trust.
		But, if Leonardo intentionally made the Beloved Disciple seem ambiguously female, and formed the letter M as described, then this may show that Leonardo believed that Mary Magdalene was, indeed, the Beloved Disciple of the Fourth Gospel.
