Gospel of John: Encyclopedia II - Gospel of John - Sources A hypothesis elaborated by German bibilical scholar Rudolf Bultmann in Das Evangelium des Johannes, 1941 (translated as The Gospel of John: A Commentary, 1971), suggested that the author of John depended in part on an oral miracles tradition or a written manuscript of Christ's miracles that was independent of the synoptic gospels, whose authors did not use it. This has been labelled a "Signs Gospel" and alleged to have been circulating before AD 70: evidently it is lost. Even readers who doubt that such a document can be ...

Gospel of John: Encyclopedia - Criterion of embarrassment

The Criterion of Embarrassment is a tool used by New Testament scholars to determine whether certain actions or sayings by Jesus in the New Testament are historically authentic or not. As a notable example, the Baptism of Jesus would have been doubly embarrassing, since the story suggests that Jesus had need of being cleansed from sins, and that he submitted to the authority of John the Baptist. The Gospel of Matthew copes with the embarrassment by having John tell Jesus "I should be baptized by you." Gospel of John goes further and s ...

Gospel of John: Encyclopedia - Evangelism

Evangelism is the preaching of the Christian Gospel or, by extension, any other form of preaching or proselytizing.

The Koine expression for good news, εὐάγγελιον ("eu-angelion") is used to refer to the four Gospels in the New Testament; and thus the Evangelists are also the authors of the four Gospels -- traditionally known as Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.
