	John of Patmos - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		John of Patmos is often referred to as John the Divine, in reference to the divination he received which constitutes Revelation.
		Traditionally, it has been believed that John of Patmos, the author of Revelation, was the same person as both John, the apostle of Jesus and John the Evangelist, author of the Gospel of John.
		John the Presbyter, teacher of Papias, bishop of Hieropolis in the early 2nd century, is often conflated with John of Patmos or with the Apostle.

	John the Evangelist - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tradition has identified him with John the Apostle and with John of Patmos, the author of the Book of Revelation.
		Tradition says that he was one of Christs disciples, and after a long life was exiled to Patmos between 90-95, where he wrote the Book of Revelation.
		There are also schools of thought which attribute some of these five works (always including The Gospel of John) to John the Apostle and others (usually including the 2nd and 3rd epistles) to another John.

		St. John could see all this; and through years of exile, with rare opportunities of hearing what happened to his Churches, he could remain calm, free from apprehension, confident in their steadfastness on the whole and their inevitable victory over the enemy.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Gospel of Saint John
		On such occasions John's interest, both in the narration of the circumstances and in the recording of the discourses and conversation of the Saviour, is a highly theological one.
		With justice, therefore, was John conceded even in the earliest ages of Christianity, the honorary title of the "theologian" of the Evangelists.
		A satisfactory explanation of the dogmatic character of John's narrative, as compared with the stress laid on the moral side of the discourses of Jesus by the Synoptists, is to be found in the character of his first readers, to which reference has already been repeatedly made.

		Having mentioned various sources providing clues to the meaning of John’s images, Kraybill concludes: "Insights from all these avenues of study point to the conclusion that John of Patmos was not against commerce and trade in themselves, as if they were intrinsically evil.

	John: New Testament and Tradition
		Tradition identifies John the son of Zebedee with "the disciple whom Jesus loved" and the eyewitness "who testifies to these things" in the Gospel of John.
		Scholars today, however, question whether John the son of Zebedee is the author of the Gospel of John according to our modern sense of authorship.
		So it may be better to say that the Gospel preserves the memories of John the Son of Zebedee while receiving its final form from one or more of his disciples.
